Yes, I do have both perls loaded on my machine, but I'm invoking Cygwin's perl, and it can't find the PerlDB.pl file where it's supposed to be, in contrib/lib/perl5/5.00503/... (at least that's where
it is on Unix). Yes, it looks like there's some interaction, because perl reports that it can't find D:\Program Files\ActiveState\PerlDB.pl (which is where the ActiveState copy lies), but then it goes
on to say that it couldn't find the file in any of the cygwin perl paths.

which perl reports:
//g/Cygwin/contrib/bin/perl
