Program cgystart does not recognize .pl file type; gets mime type incorrect

Tue Mar 9 02:05:00 GMT 2010

I ran into my first real problem with "cygstart". When I execute 
cygstart with the argument:
 sendemail.pl
The browser window has the source-code being displayed. If I copy from 
browser window back to an rxvt window, I get my source code back.
I received no error messages from cygwin. Here is the source I was 
trying to execute:
#!/bin/perl
{
 print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
 srand();
 $k = rand() * 32767;
 $m = $k % 26;
 $m = int($m);
 $s = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz12";
 $sub = substr($s, $m, 1);
 open(OUT, ">../htdocs/tmp/_$sub_email.dat");
 $value = hex("$k") + 0x060000;
 print OUT "<Input type=hidden name=codewans value=\"$value\">";
 for ($k=0; $k<=5; $k++) {
 $c = substr($value, $k, 1);
 printf OUT "<img 
src=\"/web_images/Image-%s.jpg\"> ", $c;
 }
 close(OUT);
 open(OUT, "| cat - ../htdocs/email2.html | sed -e 
\"/BEGIN_/r .
./htdocs/tmp/_$sub_email.dat202\" >../htdocs/tmp/email2.htm");
 print OUT "\n";
 close(OUT);
 open(MYINPUTFILE, "<../htdocs/tmp/email2.htm");
 my(@lines) = <MYINPUTFILE>; # read file into list
 foreach $line (@lines) { # loop thru list
 print "$line"; # print
 }
 close(MYINPUTFILE);
 exit(0);
}
Of course, LF were masked by the browser.
