Workaround for ActivePerl?

Workaround for ActivePerl?

[Dmitry Epstein]

A while ago someone made a workaround to use ActiveState Perl with Cygwin 
bash.  The problem with Active Perl was that it didn't recognize Cygwin 
path, and the workaround consisted of a little program that "translated" 
the path for Perl.

I never used the utility before, but when I tried using it today I got an 
error message saying that PerlCore.dll was not found.  Indeed, looking in 
the Perl/bin directory I didn't find this dll.  I suspect that the program 
is out of date with respect to the current version of Active Perl that I 
have.  Does anyone know of an up-to-date solution to using Active Perl with 
Cygwin?

Thanks.

The original version is here:
http://www.neuro.gatech.edu/users/cwilson/cygutils/unversioned/perl-contrib/index.html

and it contains source.  You should be able to just recompile it against
the current ActiveState perl. I don't use ActiveState, so I can't really
verify...
