> What does that matter? It's still short sited.

Yes, I don't disagree. Personally I do not care. I will deal with
having to port something when it happens.

#! /usr/bin/perl

Before the conversion using cygpath, it returns the same as
in the error: /home/kcella/bin/myscript.pl

But I think, there is some confusion here. My script will correctly execute
the
program using Activestate perl. The example I gave is for when I have no
wrapper script and just create a symlink in /usr/bin/perl that points
to /c/Perl/bin/perl.exe. The root cause of the example is the reason
for the initial post. The wrapper script was the solution I happened to
choose to get around the path problem, but quickly found out that it does
not work properly with: perl -e 'print join "\n", @INC, "\n";'

> Oh and what is PATH set to?

/home/kcella/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/c/Perl/bin/:/c
/WINDOWS/system32:/c/WINDOWS:/c/WINDOWS/System32/Wbem
