You didn't say exactly how you're invoking the java process, so depending 
on what you do, there may be multiple solutions.  If you use system(), 
either quote the '\'s by using more '\'s (see the perl manpage) or set 
CLASSPATH in the environment, or use a suitably modified version of the 
java wrapper script that I posted to this list earlier (see 
<http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2003-01/msg00174.html>).
