Hi Peter,
Like Mark said cygwin perl is a much better option. I use it quite often.
I think you still can execute active perl or any windows executable on
Cygwin.
Make sure you are escaping '\' by '/' on the directory paths. For e.g., if
you are trying to execute something on your windows at
C:\Sample\pscp.exe.
Then you will do the following on your cygwin prompt
admin@TMLA_SRAMACHAND ~ C:/\Sample/\pscp.exe
Thanks,
Smithesh.
