Yes!

perl me.pl
works, which solves the real problem!

however i am still curious why the eshell environment creates a
'execute protection' that does
not exist in the native windows environment in the cmd.exe shell.
after all me.pl runs
in the cmd.exe shell and under M^X shell

I guess it may be
a carryover secondary to the universality of eshell, but it seems
strange, since there seems
to be no chmod command here..

thanks.

Also, I cannot install the cygwin environment. I actually am not even
allowed to install
emacs :).
