However it is wrong anyway. In a Cygwin environment usr/bin is just a mount which points to /bin, so all the executables are actually in c:/programme/cygwin/bin/ > (I had to change the path from usr/bin/perl, because it wasn't found) > if $running_under_some_shell; If you need to call it from bash, then see above about using the correct syntax for paths. Why wasn't it found by bash?

The /tmp directory exists, too. So I'm a bit confused. > Can anybody help me? Thank you. No. There are no directories below usr/bin and there is no directory usr/bin. Your installation is messed up, delete the directory C:/Programme/cygwin/usr/bin. Then reinstall perl and maybe other packages.
