lauching a perl script from a .bat

lauching a perl script from a .bat

[Marko Loparic]

Hello,

I have developed a perl script to a remote user who
runs Windows. I would like to make an easy
installation
cd for him and to allow him to launch to script using 
a .bat file. I have two basic questions.

1) The perl script uses cygwin names like /cygdrive,
so I can't launch perl directly from a .bat file. I
suppose I have to launch cygwin's bash passing the 
script as an argument. How do I do this?

2) I would like to insert a basic cygwin installation 
in the cd. It seems that zipping c:\cygwin and 
unzipping it in his computer works. Is this a safe 
solution?

Thank you very much in advance!
Marko

stunnel under cygwin

[Michael Codanti]

I would like to setup something like stunnel on my Windows server to secure
some services.  I have cygwin setup, and use SSH, but couldn't find any good
details on how to compile, and setup stunnel.

Is it fairly easy to do?  Can someone point me to some good instructions?

     Thanks,

        Michael

man cygpath

BASH per se doesn't offer a solution to this issue--it knows only the Unix 
cocoon of Cygwin.

Use the Cygwin installer ("Setup.exe" -- 
<http://www.cygwin.com/setup.exe>)--it handles setting up the registry 
entries used by the Cygwin "kernel" (i.e., Cygwin1.dll).

Download the packages you wish to install (use a mirroring tool such as 
wget, FTP Voyager or the Cygwin Setup.exe installer in "Download from 
Internet" mode) and burn the resulting files onto the CD you'll use to 
perform the installations.

I think that this is a good place to start:

<http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=stunnel-users&m=101137241619790>

I'm dealing with a slightly different situation (client not server)
but at least it should get you started compiling stunnel in Cygwin.

Regards,
David

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).

Also, both cygwin programs and perl scripts can handle windows type paths
in their arguments if you replace '\' with '/'
(e.g., c:/dir/dir/file).
