Well - even so .... "my" problem remains .... The scripts that I have are written to work cross-platform, and because I can't use rm -rf when telneting to a cygwin box with an automated telnet/ssh script, I have to do this nonsense:
if ($telnet_handle->{$hostlabel}->{OS} eq 'cygwin') { ($stdout,$stderr)=$telnet_handle->{_cmd_handle}->cmd("cmd /c del /s $dir"); } else { ($stdout,$stderr)=$telnet_handle->{_cmd_handle}->cmd("cmd /c rm -r $dir"); } I'd rather not have to do this!!

Ah. Sorry.
