Let me re-cap what you just said:
create a perl.bat with line:
"c:\cygwin\bin\bash --login /usr/bin/perl %1 %2 %3 %4
%5 %6 %7 %8 %9"

which will work as my perl interpreter...
and associate my .pl files with this perl.bat

if I want to use shell script as well, then I suppose
I would need to associate my .sh files with
c:\cygwin\bin\bash --login...is this correct???

so when I do my programming, I should keep in mind
that I only have the cygwin filesystem to access
right?
so if I want to point to a file /home/admin/foo, I
would use /home/admin/foo, and not
c:\cygwin\home\admin\foo.  Is this correct???
