Not to anybody here. There are various solutions to your "problem", some 
involving a wrapper script in a shell such as bash or handling the 
situation in Perl itself. Being as this list is about Cygwin the 
emulation environment itself, it's clear that "how to write a bash 
wrapper script to call some thing outside of Cygwin's purvey" or similar 
in Perl is definitely off topic by definition. If you cannot see that 
distinction then I don't know what to tell ya. Cygwin is made to work 
with Cygwin, not <arbitrary Windows oriented application>. That part's 
up to you to implement with the tools provided.
