Is there something that the space after the "!" and before the "/" buys you?

So your specifically saying by your shebang line - execute Cygwin's perl.

So then you are saying that you have no /usr/bin/perl? Is so then why do 
you put "#! /usr/bin/perl" in your script at all?

So now you are saying that you have no problem?!?

Huh? There is no /c/... although I've heard of a way to do that I've 
also heard that it's not supported. Futher, why would you want to 
symlink /usr/bin/perl -> /c/Perl/bin/perl.exe?!? Or, since you insist on 
using ActiveState, then why not specifically specify something like 
#!C:/Perl/bin/perl.exe or something like that?

You could probably also simply use #!perl since C:/Perl/bin is in your 
path...
