Actually the Cygwin commands are independent exe's and don't have to be run from any certain shell. I run cygwin commands from cmd.exe all the time. The key difference is that they act and return output in the context of the cygwin system. But it's not too hard to flip /c/perl/bin/perl into c:\perl\bin\perl in ur mind. But for the most part they act just like any other shell app. -- REMEMBER THE WORLD TRADE CENTER ---=< WTC 911 >=-- "...ne cede malis" 00000100 _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
