That example I can simply handle in the application, but I mean more when I invoke the script. When it is in my $PATH and I type myscript.pl, the full path is expanded and passed to the interpreter with cygwin style paths. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
