Subject:	perl/cygwin and system calls

     Let me see if I can pose the question correctly.    I would like to
use a cygwin environment from a perl script.    I have a build
environment that works in a cygwin window.  What I'm in the process of
trying to do is write a perl script that can be  started from the Task
Scheduler.  The perl script cd to a directory and cvs co a module.  Once
the module is checked out I'm trying to use a system call to kick off my
make  ie system("//c/cygwin/bin/make all").  This piece is failing, I
believe,  because the system call is going out and using an NT
environment not a Cygwin env.  Does anyone know how I can get this to
what I want.

Thanks,
John
