Making perl script running under bash cygwin

[Robinow, David]

system returns 0. 'system(...) or die' should always die.  Does it run the
command first?
  Does this have anything to do with cygwin? i.e., does it perform
differently on other systems?

Hi, I have this :
system("perl -i.orig -pe 's!/home/ftp!/!g' c:/cygwin/etc/passwd") or die;

And it dies always althought it works if I run it by Hand in the cygwin
bash.
Why?
