I believe I posted this before, but here it goes again. If all you want
to do is make 'shebang' ('#!') work with ActiveState (or other Windows
programs), put the following in your /usr/local/bin:
--------------------- BEGIN /usr/local/bin/wrap ---------------------
#!/bin/sh
pname="$1"
fname="`cygpath -wi "$2"`"
shift 2 && exec "$pname" "$fname" "$@"
------- Warning: cutting here may damage your screen surface --------
and then use it in the '#!' line of your script, e.g.,
------------------------ BEGIN activeperl.pl ------------------------
#!/usr/local/bin/wrap /cygdrive/c/ActivePerl/bin/perl
use English;
print "Testing: $PERL_VERSION on $OSNAME\n";
------- Warning: cutting here may damage your screen surface --------
or, in your case, '#!/usr/local/bin/wrap /cygdrive/c/usr/local/bin/perl'.
Note that this won't suddenly make your perl program understand POSIX
paths, i.e., if you want to pass a filename to that script, you'd have to
convert it yourself with `cygpath -w`... Also beware the possible shebang
length limit...
HTH,
Igor
