What is the setting of your PATH environment variable?
$ echo $PATH
Does it include the directory that contains your perl binaries?
You can set your PATH (and other bash shell environment
variables) in your .profile (aka, ~/.profile) so that it will
be set each time you start a bash shell.
Have you considered downloading the Cygwin perl package
and using it instead?
