When a script's shebang line has a windows path, rather than a cygwin
path, it does not work:
rkitover@eeebox ~
$ head -1 /cygdrive/c/Perl64/site/bin/ack
#!C:\Perl64\bin\perl
rkitover@eeebox ~
$ /cygdrive/c/Perl64/site/bin/ack --version
Can't open perl script "/cygdrive/c/Perl64/site/bin/ack": No such file
or directory
On msys (msysGit) this works correctly:
rkitover@EEEBOX ~
$ /c/Perl64/site/bin/ack --version
ack 1.94
Running under Perl 5.12.2 at C:\Perl64\bin\perl.exe

Any chance this could be fixed? This would be a very nice feature for
users of Strawberry Perl and similar.
