in reply to Running Perl with Cygwin

I don't have cygwin installed myself, but <guessing_mode>maybe cygwin comes with its own Perl and modules </guessing_mode>?

Update: But that doesn't explain why it would run from inside a .bat file.

A program should be light and agile, its subroutines connected like a string of pearls. The spirit and intent of the program should be retained throughout. There should be neither too little or too much, neither needless loops nor useless variables, neither lack of structure nor overwhelming rigidity." - The Tao of Programming, 4.1 - Geoffrey James
