Hi,
I'm calling this in my Perl script using the Komodo IDEto get the total lines in a file:
my $length = `wc -l < $ARGV[0]/DAT/metadata.dat`;

I received an error message saying:
'\\emc-filer\etl\data\Jamaica\scripts\Modules' CMD.EXE was started with the above path as the current directory. UNC paths are not supported. Defaulting to Windows directory. 'wc' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

I set my env path to C:\cygwin\bin, but that didn't help. Does anyone know how to get this unix command to work on a windows machine with cygwin through Komodo IDE?
