Umm, there might be another problem with this approach (not the one you're
having), and that is that perl gets the Win32 path to the script, rather
than the Cygwin (POSIX) one. This *may* cause errors once you fix the
current problem, but those will have to be debugged separately. OTOH, it
may just work.

It's your error, but one that's easy to fix. Read on.

YES! YES! YES!!! Finally someone actually *read* the problem reporting
guidelines and *attached* the cygcheck output! Thank you!
BTW, it does matter a lot. One thing that your cygcheck output shows is
that your mounts are user mounts (you installed Cygwin for "Just Me"), and
therefore anything invoked from Apache running as a service (as I assume
it does) won't see them properly. Try re-mounting your "/", "/usr/bin",
and "/usr/lib" as system mounts (Google for "cygwin remount system", for
example), and see if it helps.

^^^^^^^^^
Hmm, I wonder what gave you this output...
