For example 'echo $HOME' within a bash shell returns

which of coarse is correct. The newer version of Perl returns
c:\users\charlie which is the Windows way of stating the path to home.

You have activestate perl installed on that box and it's earlier in the path
than cygwin perl. Setup is correctly showing you the cygwin version - which
you then aren't invoking.

Dave,
Activestate perl is not installed on that box. The first thing I checked for.
The only Perl is installed /use/bin/perl. A 'which perl' also confirms that.
Another thing I did to confirm this is rename the perl.exe under /usr/bin/ and
copy the perl.exe from the other box into this location. The scripts now all
work correctly. The rouge perl is coming from the Cygwin setup program.
