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@TMLA_SRAMACHAND ~ C:/\Sample/\pscp.exe Thanks, Smithesh. > -----Original Message----- > From: Peter Desjardins [] > Sent: Friday, October 04, 2002 4:54 PM > To: cygwin@cygwin.com > Subject: Executing Perl from the Cygwin command line > > > Does anyone know how to configure Cygwin to execute Perl code > from the command line? > > I installed Cygwin on Windows 2000.
