Hello karlgoethebier,

As others have said, it looks like a conflict between your Cygwin and Strawberry Perls. If so, why not switch to a portable edition of the latter? See http://strawberryperl.com/releases.html. I’ve always found the “PortableZIP editions” to be excellent.

You fire up your portable edition from a command prompt via portableshell.bat, and the environment variables, etc., are automatically set to their correct values for this particular Perl version. You can run multiple versions on your system in this way without any problems — in parallel, if you like, with no conflicts.

Just a thought,
