The external_parsers line from that article should work, if you have perl.exe installed in C:\Perl\bin, but it appears you have it installed in C:\Cygwin\bin. If you changed the path in external_parsers accordingly, I don't see why it wouldn't work. (Despite recent changes in external_parsers handling in 3.2.0b3 and 3.1.6, it's always been set up to allow a quoted parser command that includes arguments. If the new code doesn't do this correctly, we'd like to know.) However, your fix is a clean one too. -- Gilles R.
