Well, I have XP SP1, and, as you saw, it worked. Since I didn't *really*
try it with 1.5.11, but rather with a self-built DLL from CVS, you might
try the latest snapshot and see if that fixes your problem. Otherwise, I
had a WAG that it had to do with the presence of .exe in the symlink name
and

Running chmod a+x /usr/bin/perl* does not help.

Okay, this is interesting. I got rid of /usr/bin/perl, and copied
perl5.8.5.exe back to perl.exe. Then I tried the exact sequence you had
below and it worked. For some reason the /usr/bin/perl1 soft link works
but the /usr/bin/perl soft link does not. I'm at a loss. Why can't I
make
Do you have a perl.exe somewhere *else* in your PATH? Try type -a
perl from bash, or which -a perl... How about type -a perl.exe or
which -a perl.exe? What happens when you name the symlink perl.exe
instead of perl?

Funny you should say that. My boss and I just discovered that as the
culprit. There is a bug that only manifests in 1.5.11. Even though
'which perl' shows /usr/bin/perl, make was running /usr/local/bin/perl.
The version of /usr/local/bin/perl somehow lost it's 'x' attribute, so
it couldn't

I have run into a bug when upgrading from 1.5.10 to 1.5.11. I use a

Yes, the perl soft link works from the command line. Here's my test case that fails.

As stated in my original post, I renamed make.exe to gmake.exe to avoid
a name conflict with Opus make (also named make.exe). So,
gmake.exe==Cygwin make.exe. My environment is somewhat customized
because I have a lot of different build requirements depending on the
project I am working on.
Sorry, missed that. Still, like CGF, I can't reproduce this:
$ echo -e 'default:\n\tperl1 foo.pl' Makefile
$ echo -e '#!/usr/bin/perl1\n\n\nprint Success.\\n' foo.pl
$ ln -fs /usr/bin/perl /usr/bin/perl1
$ make
perl1 foo.pl
Success.

I tried this same experiment on a home PC, and it is not having the
problem. The major difference I can see is that the home PC has XP SP2
installed, and the work machine is still on Service Pack
