I don't believe this to be the problem in my case. Under the Windows file system the path to the scripts is C:\cygwin\home\test\moses\moses\bin\moses-scripts\scripts-20080215-1500
As you can see there are no spaces. In any case bash when called from the command line behaves nicely when the scripts are called with absolute paths. Why should it behave differently just because bash is being invoked from a perl script? My understanding was that programs called under cygwin can only see the unix-type directory hierarchy under cygwin and that as far as any program called is concerned the root directory of cygwin is the root directory of the file system. One thing I have noticed from the scripts is that commands like 'rm', 'mkdir' etc. are called and executed without error. These executables can only be found with the $PATH variable. I wonder if using relative paths to the scripts or adding the path to the scripts to the $PATH variable and calling the scripts by name would work? I think it's worthwhile finding a workable fix for this that will make moses run under Cygwin out-of-the-box for all users.
