You can run this script fine from a .bat file. However, you will need to
have Cygwin installed on the machine and adjust the path to include
perl.exe and cygwin1.dll (i.e. /usr/bin). For this non-interactive use,
bash need not and should not be involved. It is cygwin1.dll that provides
the cygwin-style functionality to perl, not bash.
Cygpath can convert windows paths to and from cygwin paths, but you
shouldn't need it here (under cygwin perl, the script should work fine
unmodified).
