That's what I was thinking. I was sure that I am doing something wrong, and
it must have something to do with Perl for Cygwin :) Thanks for the info!

As you have said below that my Perl will have a different forking mechanism,
I will/should not go for perlrebase.

Thanks!

My 5.6.1 *cygwin* perl has:
$ perl5.6.1 -V:archlib
archlib='/usr/lib/perl5/5.6.1/cygwin-debug';

My ActiveState perl has
> perl -V:archlib
archlib='C:\Perl\lib';

>>> But this should not be rebased by cygwin as it has a different fork
strategy than cygwin.

So now the question is what should I do to resolve the issue I am facing?
Since we use a separate Perl (Active State), your perlrbase will not work. I
am stuck. :( Any suggestions?

Gaurav
