IMHO you just have to edit lib/Config.pm to reflect your filesystem
structure. It is not necessary to rebuild perl.

This simply can be changed with chown or by "take ownership" from

Btw. I use the ActiveState port of perl for months now without any
problem from bash.
Only thing is, that you have to use the c: syntax for drive letters
instead of /cygdrive/ or /c/. PerlWin32 even accepts / as separator.
