Re: Question on Perl (.pl) association


Thorsten (et al):
I have the greatest respect for the incredible job that the CYGWIN
maintainers have done with BASH shell.
But the last time I used a bash shell on a Unix platform I was able to setup
the .pl to perl association but I cannot within CYGWIN..this is a nice to
have feature which I would  prefer to boost to a "must have" feature
Vielen Dank,
~Martin~
