Likewise.  I've gone round and round on the issues of command.exe,
Windows Explorer, Cygwin, and Perl.  Perl libraries and the various
maintenance tools add yet another dimension of complexity.  Going
through the various combinations and permutations was very confusing and
led to much frustration and wasted effort.  My solution was to limit
myself to Cygwin, Cygwin Perl, Cygwin Perl libraries, and Perl libraries
built from source (using Cygwin tools).  If I want to light off a Perl
script from Windows land, I write a batch file.  This approach is the
easiest for me to understand, and works reliably.


HTH,

David
