Apache Windows ExtFilterDefine / Output / SED

Both perl and sed have the same problem in my testing.

There seems to be some buggy behavior with Apache on Windows. Has
anyone had any success with this?

Using sed or perl and looking at the logs, Apache is never able to find
either sed or perl. I've tried escaping the slashes which results in
apache looking for the program at a double slashed location. When I
don't escape the slashes apache drops them

like this for example:

ExtFilterDefine fixtext mode=output intype=text/html
cmd="c:\\cygwin\\bin\\perl -pe ' s{www.domain.com}{dev.domain.com}g;'"

If I call the command that way I get this in the error log:
The system could not find the file specificed. could not create child
process to run 'c:\\cygwin\\bin\\perl'

When I call the command like c:\cygwin\bin\perl I get:
The system could not find the file specificed. could not create child
process to run 'c:cygwinbinperl'

If anyone sees a fix please let me know.

Thanks,

-Matt
