The Perl script is tested (and supposed to work) with Cygwin's Perl
interpreter. I do not know whether it's expected to use with the Perl
version packaged with Windows Git package. Could you retry from Cygwin
terminal rather than git-bash one? On my side I avoid as much as possible
the use of pre-packaged programs from Git Windows installer.
BTW if you copy the tools\pre-commit file in our
D:\Development\wireshark\.git\hooks folder, the checks will be performed
automatically at commit time.

Regards,
Pascal.
