You have C:\PERL\BIN in your PATH environment variable before /usr/bin. Run the following in your Cygwin shell: echo $PATH You will likely see something like the following: /cygdrive/c/PERL/BIN:/usr/bin:/bin:(and so on) When running perl as "perl" in your shell, the shell searches each directory in the list from left to right for an executable file named perl (or perl.exe under Cygwin). However, none of that will affect your scripts because they are specifically calling out for using /usr/bin/perl. In order to run Andrew's test with the Cygwin-based Perl, do the following: /usr/bin/perl -de 1 -Jeremy -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
