using cygwin's Perl from within gvim

[Lyle]

Hello

I am unable to use Perl from within gvim. For example, if within
gvim, I type
Esc :%!perl -p -e 's/public/private/;'   and hit return,

nothing happens, where as if I issue this exact same command

cat filename.java | perl -p -e 's/public/private/;'

from the cygwin bash command line (outside of gvim), then it works as
expected. When attempting to execute this command from the
gvim editor, as shown above, a shell window appears and then
disappears immediately, causing me to suspect that some sort
of error message is being displayed, but its too fast to read it.

Attempting this same action using gvim and Perl on AIX Unix
works fine, so its not a mistake in the Perl syntax.

I'm using VIM 6.1 (2002 Mar 24, compiled Mar 24 2002 16:04:44)
MS-Windows 32 bit GUI version with OLE support on Windows XP.

Any ideas?

thanks
