Jens,
This is just a hunch, but...
It sounds as if Borland make and ActiveState Perl are trying to adaptive
about which command interpreter they use and now that Cygwin is on your
system, they're finding Cygwin's /bin/sh (not BASH but ash, by the way)
before they find CMD.exe.
Look at your system's PATH variable and see if it includes your Cygwin bin
directory (in it's Windows form, perhaps something like "C:\cygwin\bin")
and if it's there, move it after "C:\WINNT\system32".
You might also want to look at the documentation for the errant programs to
see if they're configurable in such a way to avoid this pitfall.

Hello,
after installing cygwin I run into the following problem:
All shell commands executed by programs, e.g.
an "echo ************" executed from Borland make or an "open(F_LIST,"dir
$ARGV[0] /s /b|");" executed from a Perl script (Activestate)
aren't executed by cmd.exe any more but by bash. The Problem is that bash
don't know the commands listed above or behaves in a different way than
cmd.exe. It's possible to set a cmd /C for every command, but I have a lot
of this stuff and like to use always cmd.exe.
Does somebody know how to disable this redirection to bash ?
Thanks.
Jens
P.S.
comspec is set correct.
