I installed cygwin a few days ago, and was able to run some perl scripts
over a windows fileshare using UNC names: //host/perl/site/bin/script.pl
worked fine, unless I'm imagining things.  Now, mysteriously, it has
stopped working:

$ cd //host/perl/site/bin/script
$ ls
[... lots, including script.pl ...]
$ script.pl
bash: //host/perl/site/bin/script.pl: No such file or directory
$ //host/perl/site/bin/script.pl
bash: //host/perl/site/bin/script.pl: No such file or directory
$ ./script.pl
bash: ./script.pl: No such file or directory
$ less script.pl
[script displayed fine by less]

None of the other scripts work either, and they're all world-readable and
world-executable.

What's going on?


John
