Hi

After upgrading to 20051019, perl doesn't work as it used to in the
windows shell.

$ uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-5.0 duli2 1.5.19s(0.140/4/2) 20051019 13:12:47 i686 unknown
unknown Cygwin

$ perl -e 'exec whoami'
Krzysiek

C:\>perl -e 'print "ok"'
ok
C:\>perl -e 'exec whoami'

C:\>whoami
Krzysiek

Regards
Krzysztof Duleba
