Running a Perl script under Cygwin

Hi,

Looking for a scripting language able to get the list of processes
under Win2000 (as "ps" in Unix), I found that Perl had a module
called ProcessTable that does that. Unfortunately, it will not
compile under Windows, so I had to complicate the setup by compiling
it under Cygwin. Does anyone know how to call that script from
outside the Cygwin prompt? For instance, from the WIndows scheduler?

To be more accurate:

We have at work a bunch of Unix boxes and we use Control-M to
schedule tasks on those servers (cleaning logs, etc) that are
performed by scripts. But now our customers decided to move to
Windows 2000, and we need to perform the same job: call a Perl
script compiled with Cygwin from the Control-M agent (which is
on the same host as the script).

I'd appreciate any help on this! I know Linux and Unix well, but
as I am not a Windows user, I have never used Cygwin at all...

Thanks in advance!

Filipe
