Specify some other Perl option (i.e. -v) and it WORKS!

To recap: perl -d mysc<tab> does NOT complete to perl -d myscript.pl
but perl -v mysc<tab> does! That's just odd!

This is all provided by the bash-completion package.  You should be able
to download the source code using setup-*.exe as usual, or the specific
script you're after is /etc/bash_completion.d/perl.

The upstream release of bash-completion is v2.1; the official Cygwin
version seems to be based on v1.3, so it could be that this is resolved
in future releases.


Hmmm... seems my bash-completion and a few other things are old. Time to update.... (should have checked this first - sorry).
