I have been using Bash to run configure scripts for the past year, and
have never seen such problems.  The only possible cause that comes to
mind is that you have an old version of the ported Bash.  Please
download the latest bsh1147b.zip from your favorite DJGPP site and see
if the problem goes away.  (My bash.exe is 403968 bytes in size, and
is dated Apr 19, 1997.)

If the problem persists, please post the shortest script that
reproduces this problem.

Are you sure it looks for `perl.exe' and not `perl'?
