One is very distantly related to another.
I set up programs to work as user commands, it's not actually relevant, if
they are cmd scripts, or perl, both, or neither.

The path is handled within a **cygwin** session, but mintty is not it.
And you don't have to second-guess cygwin behavior, if you do it the way I
propose. And you would be safe if behavior would one day change (though I do
not foresee it in this case).

P.S.
I've tried to do it "your way" for tests.
Had enough of an issue starting Cygwin itself and rolled it back.
Cygwin already quite capable of path conversion, no need to deny it this
ability.
