Hi everyone!

I'm using cvsnt via cygwin command line. When I'm trying to reformat log output 
with cvs2cl.pl (http://www.red-bean.com/cvs2cl), I get the following error 
message:

Can't open perl script "/cygdrive/c/Program": No such file or directory

Apparently the script is looked for in "/cygdrive/c/Program Files/cvsnt/", 
which is fine for me, because that's where it resides. However, when I delete 
the script, I get the following output:

bash: /cygdrive/c/Program Files/cvsnt/cvs2cl.pl: No such file or directory

Suddenly the path is resolved alright! I guess the first message is generated 
by Perl and the second one by bash. When I put the script in a no-space-path 
and type the whole thing, like

/cygdrive/c/cvs2cl.pl

it works fine. Using a path-with-spaces probably requires some weird 
combination of single/double quotes. Since I'm bashwise quite illiterate and 
have never used Perl before, any help is greatly appreciated.

Note that putting the script in another location (like /cygdrive/c or 
cygwin/usr/bin or such) does not help. It is always looked for in 
/cygdrive/c/Program Files/cvsnt and nowhere else. Why?

Thanks,
Andreas
