This is odd. You do know that Unix, thus Cygwin, implements a case 
sensitive file system (in most cases) and that Perl.exe is not the same 
as perl.exe. I've never seen a Perl.exe in Cygwin and alas I have no 
more Windows machines at home to test on.

Given the above I do see an "x" - actually two of them - one for owner 
and one for group. You are the owner (dextem) so you have execute 
permissions. (BTW: the mkgroup thing is trying to tell you to run 
mkgroup > /etc/group).

Aside from reporting your particulars as described in 
http://cygwin.com/problems.html, it would be interesting to show the 
output of "which perl" and try a "perl -de 1" to start up Perl in it's 
debugger from the command line. If that works then the shebang line 
should work. If the shebang line is not working then I would thing "perl 
-de 1" would also not work and may output enlightening stuff.

Now they show you how detergents take out bloodstains. I think if you've 
got a T-shirt with a bloodstains all over it, maybe laundry isn't your 
biggest problem. Maybe you should get rid of the body before you do the 
wash.
