How do I run a program compiled in cygwin from a program that is running in a Windows CMD shell?

[LMH]

I am a bit confused as to the role of perl here. I have compiled under 
cygwin g++ for a long time now and don't run into problems. Are you 
using the -mno-cygwin flag in your compile rules? I have two processes, 
where one is a child of the the processed that gets launched, but both 
are in c. Maybe it is better to address your issue in the c part of the 
application, possibly create a little c launcher app that will create 
the behavior you need.

Whether you run your c widget from win cmd, bash, call if from perl 
python, etc, shouldn't really make any difference.

Maybe I need to dig into your post a bit more.
