But, if I write it like that, this never will work under Ubuntu, does it? Or is it possible with some "mount" magic to void the prefix "/cydgrive/c"? My goal is to have just 1 alias that would work both under Win32 (Cygwin) and Ubuntu, having the files located in the same place (relative to my home dir). I also tried you suggestion for another command, which was: perl C:/home/sva/src/csv2ledger/CSV2Ledger.pl -f $FileMatches -i $tmpfile.clean This works fine under Cygwin right now. Rewritten with POSIX paths: perl /cygdrive/c/home/sva/src/csv2ledger/CSV2Ledger.pl -f $FileMatches -i $tmpfile.clean It does not work anymore...
