<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Just an partial answer to my own
question:</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">I found, that in the new epstopdf.pl
script there is a check, if kpsewhich can be found in the PATH. <br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">On line 545 it reads <br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">for my $dir (split
($on_windows_or_cygwin ? ";" : ":", $ENV{"PATH"})) {</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Since the path separator in cygwin is
":", split returns the whole path and cannot find kpsewhich there.
If I replace $on_windows_or_cygwin by $on_windows, the program
works nicely.</div>

<p><font size="4">since a few days epstopdf isn't working anymore
when called from cygwin's bash shell. It works properly from
Windows' cmd shell and also from texlive 2022. <br>

<p><font size="4">Perl (the one in the texlive distro and also
that from cygwin) claims, that it cannot find kpsewhich
anywhere in the path. I guess that has to do with the
different naming conventions for directories in and out of
cygwin, /cygdrive/e/texlive vs. e:\texlive.</font></p>
