Sorry, should have been more explicit. Bug reports should be accompanied
by cygcheck -srv output, attached as a text attachment, not inline.
Where did you actually install activeperl? And what output do you get from:
ls -l c:/usr/local/bin
(It's kind of odd that you have a /usr/local/bin set up outside of
c:/Cygwin.)
