That's okay - you can make Windows act like Unix when you install Cygwin. It's a bit confusing when you try to mix the two views of the filesystem, e.g., "perl /tmp/script.pl" doesn't work in a Cygwin shell if you're using a native Windows build of Perl like ActiveState, and neither does "perl c:\temp\script.pl". -- Danny R.
