Same as in the Windows environment: "ftype" in connection with "assoc" (or more convenient with "associate" from the ResourceKit). > When I invoke CYGWIN in order to execute a Perl Script I need to state > perl whatever.pl > I would like to place an association for .pl to the Cygwin Perl Interpreter > so when I invoke > whatever.pl > the associated Cygwin Perl interpreter will be invoked to interpret the > script You're confusing Windows and Unix semantics. There's never been such a thing as an association between a file extension and an application/interpreter in Unix/Cygwin. You might be looking for a "she bang" which does something similar.
