If you're using the version of Cygwin which was released on the Cygwin
CD, then it has problems with perl's method of loading dlls. I've
added a workaround in newer cygwin snapshots. You can download snapshots
from:
http://sourceware.cygnus.com/cygwin/snapshots/
but please read *all* of the information on that web page before downloading.
You'll need to replace the cygwin1.dll on your hard disk with the one you
download. I'd recommend making a backup copy (i.e. ren cygwin1.dll cygwinsaf.dll).
