1.5.11: execvp bug (XP)

[Isaac Foraker]

# ls -lL /usr/bin/perl.exe
ls: /usr/bin/perl.exe: No such file or directory

Some other possibly useful stuff:

# ls -lL /usr/bin/perl
-rwxr-x---+   1 isaacf   Users       11776 Aug 30 13:52 /usr/bin/perl

# ls -l /usr/bin/perl
lrwxrwxrwx    1 isaacf   Domain U       22 Sep  7 17:14 /usr/bin/perl -> 
/usr/bin/perl5.8.5.exe

# perl -v
This is perl, v5.8.5 built for cygwin-thread-multi-64int
...

# uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-5.1 xcoisaacf20 1.5.11(0.116/4/2) 2004-09-04 23:17 i686

Thanks,
