You didn't say exactly how you're invoking the java process, so depending on what you do, there may be multiple solutions. If you use system(), either quote the '\'s by using more '\'s (see the perl manpage) or set CLASSPATH in the environment, or use a suitably modified version of the java wrapper script that I posted to this list earlier (see <http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2003-01/msg00174.html>).
