Greg,

No, it's not necessary to set the PATH, I was just trying to guess why
there was a difference between a shell script and the command line...
Just out of curiousity, is the PATH the same in the shell script and in
the shell?

Also, are you executing Cygwin perl in both cases?  Try "type -a perl"
from the shell (bash?)...  How are you invoking the script (i.e., by
calling it directly, or through "perl scriptname")?  If directly, what
does the shebang ("#!") line at the top of the script say?
