Have you tried setting BASH_ENV in your /etc/profile? IIRC, when you start a bash shell, it prepends /usr/bin to your path- you can change that behavior by modifying this line in your /etc/profile PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:$PATH" Just put /cygdrive/c/program\ files/bin before /usr/bin, and you should get your active perl instead of cygwin perl.
