Folks, I need associative arrays so I got the bash 4.0 source, compiled it under cygwin and installed it in /usr/local/bin.
I have ActiveState perl installed in /opt/perl which preceeds /usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin on my path. Using bash 4.0, 'which' says I should get ActiveState perl, but actual execution gives cygwin perl in /bin $ for i in $(echo $PATH | sed -r -e "s/:/ /g"); do echo $i; done /opt/site/bin /opt/ms-vs-10.0/VC/bin /opt/perl/bin /usr/local/bin /bin /usr/bin ... $ which perl /opt/perl/bin/perl But $ perl --version This is perl, v5.10.1 (*) built for i686-cygwin-thread-muli-64int (with 12 registered patches, see perl -V for more detail) ... If I switch to bash 3.x in /bin things work as expected. $ /bin/bash $ which perl /opt/perl/bin/perl $ perl --version This is perl, v5.10.1 built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread ... How can I fix bash 4.0 path problems?
