Hi,

I have a few (ancient) shell scripts which call perl scripts (which 
perform MySql queries), since a few days these have stopped working (may 
have been since recent coreutils update)

c:/usr/local/bin/perl sdbk.pl $*  (hard path to activestate perl)

to get them working again I have to change perl to perl.exe

c:/usr/local/bin/perl.exe sdbk.pl $* 

Havn't been lurking here recently but is this a known problem or brain-
failure on my part?
