Directory structuring

[PaulAThompson <patjahsd at gmail dot com>]

I am very confused about the correct manner of defining directory paths under
cygwin, perl, and bash. I cannot determine the correct manner. Using the
cygwin window, I navigate to locations using 

cd /cygdrive/c/subdir

Using a bash shell to run a perl process under the shell and passing in a
directory, I must use a windows-style specification with *nix forward
slashes

c:/subdir

I have tried a number of manner of using cd within the bash shell to change
directories without any success

Is there a simple guide to the path specifications? This seems simple, but I
cannot figure out the correct specification

Within the bash shell, I have tried 

cd /cygdrive/c/subdir
cd "/cygdrive/c/subdir"
cd c:/subdir
cd "c:/subdir"

None of these work
