It's not recommended to replace sh.exe (ash) with bash.exe. The main reason is that bash is slower than ash, which is important for configures. Also, anyone who does replace sh.exe with bash.exe will see it changed back to ash when upgrading via setup. A better solution might be to invoke bash in the system() call for perl if bash is what's required for the script. Another alternative is to modify the script to be ash (i.e. Bourne shell) compatible.
