Running Active Perl scripts in bash

I know a similar question has been asked a while ago, but I thought perhaps
there has been some development since then.
I have a problem running Active Perl scripts in bash shell. I can run
scripts if I specify the full path to the script (e.g.
e:/cygwin/usr/local/bin/sw.pl), but not if I just type the name of the
script (e.g. sw.pl). Perl gives an error message, something like
Can't open script /usr/local/bin/sw.pl
For some reason, which I can't quite understand, I have no trouble running
scripts in the current directory.
If I understand correctly, the problem is that bash gives Perl the path
relative to cygnus mount, which, of course, Perl doesn't understand. So,
does anyone know of a work-around, other than installing a cygnus-friendly
port of Perl? I would really like to stay with Active Perl, as it is the
best Windows port around.
