This isn’t really chef related problem. You should ask this on cygwin forums
https://cygwin.com/lists.html

But the libraries are installed with only… And located in embedded bin and perl of chef

If you are in perl and trying to set a environment variable then there is a global hash for that %Env

Good luck!

Can you explain me more with exactly what should i do?

Sure.

I made a test folder and in that folder I made a perl script that tries to call an executable in a bin folder that I also made.

So, in ./bin we see a script called “action”:
$cat bin/action
#!/bin/sh
echo “RUNNING $1”

My script tries to call action and fails, then I add “./bin” to PATH and it finds it:

$cat script.pl
use Env qw(@PATH);
exec(“action ONE”);
push @PATH, “./bin”;
exec(“action TWO”);

Output:
$perl script.pl
RUNNING TWO

That is one way to programmatically modify PATH

Its not helping me… Cant i remove cygwin compltely or turn cygwin env to windows env only

Oh, I see.

Well, at this point, sending you to a site that explains using perl on windows would be the best help I can give you: http://perl-begin.org/platforms/windows/

I am currently working in bash and macosx shells…
