I don't know how you ran this a few days ago but your problem appears to 
be that Perl isn't found (or maybe that the version you are running is a
Windows one).  Its hard to tell for sure without a cygcheck -s -r -v and/or
a look at your script though.  Try adding the proper #! line to your script.
Also, check the mail archives about this kind of problem.  You'll find a 
number of queries and responses, some as recently as today!
