Adding the: (setenv "BASH_ENV" "/etc/profile") to my .emacs file did not
solve the problem of the path, where the "perl" is picked from. It still
stays /usr/bin.
Thanks
Roman

>From the Bash man page:
Non-login interactive shells:
On startup (subject to the -norc and -rcfile options):
if ~/.bashrc exists, source it.
Non-interactive shells:
On startup:
if the environment variable ENV is non-null, expand
it and source the file it names, as if the command
if [ "$ENV" ]; then . $ENV; fi
had been executed, but do not use PATH to search
for the pathname. When not started in Posix mode, bash
looks for BASH_ENV before ENV.
Emacs starts Bash as "Non-login interactive shells". To make thing
easier I suggest you set "BASH_ENV" to "/etc/profile" in ~/.emacs:
(setenv "BASH_ENV" "/etc/profile")
[ This is really Bash/Cygwin problem not Emacs, so I cross post ]
