You may not install Perl in default cygwin64 package. Please ensure that you have Perl at /usr/bin/perl.exe.

If it is not there, run setup-x86_64.exe again and select Perl interpreter.

You probably saved the Perl script with DOS style line endings. The shell is looking for a file called /usr/bin/perl<CR>.

Save your files with Unix-style line endings. My .vimrc which I use with my natively compiled vim and gvim has:

set fileformat=unix
set fileformats=unix,dos

Check your editor's settings for the appropriate options.

To fix line endings in a particular file, use $ dos2unix filename.
