Subject:	executing perl from command line (cygwin)

Hi Peter,
Like Mark said cygwin perl is a much better option. I use it quite often.

I think you still can execute active perl  or any windows executable on
Cygwin. 

Make sure you are escaping '\' by '/'  on the directory paths. For e.g.,  if
you are trying to execute something on your windows at
C:\Sample\pscp.exe.

Then you will do the following on your cygwin prompt
admin AT TMLA_SRAMACHAND ~ C:/\Sample/\pscp.exe

Thanks,
Smithesh.
