Hello,
I have developed a perl script to a remote user who
runs Windows. I would like to make an easy
installation
cd for him and to allow him to launch to script using
a .bat file. I have two basic questions.
1) The perl script uses cygwin names like /cygdrive,
so I can't launch perl directly from a .bat file. I
suppose I have to launch cygwin's bash passing the
script as an argument. How do I do this?
You can run this script fine from a .bat file. However, you will need to
have Cygwin installed on the machine and adjust the path to include
perl.exe and cygwin1.dll (i.e. /usr/bin). For this non-interactive use,
bash need not and should not be involved. It is cygwin1.dll that provides
the cygwin-style functionality to perl, not bash.
