...or put the following in your /usr/local/bin:

-------------- BEGIN /usr/local/bin/wrap --------------
#!/bin/sh
pname="$1"
fname="`cygpath -w "$2"`"
shift 2 && exec "$pname" "$fname" "$@"
--------------- END /usr/local/bin/wrap ---------------

and change the #! line of the perl script to

#!/usr/local/bin/wrap /cygdrive/c/ActivePerl/bin/perl

This should work even if you have Cygwin perl installed as well.
