Unfortunately not.
Here is a session showing the problem:

$ /bin/rm CHANGES
$ cvs up CHANGES
U CHANGES
$ cat -v CHANGES | head -1
******************************************
$ /bin/rm CHANGES
$ perl -e "system 'cvs up CHANGES';"
U CHANGES
$ cat -v CHANGES | head -1
******************************************^M

As you can see I get ^M at the end of the lines (all lines - here just first
shown).
This does not happen with all repositories, though.
I have tried looking at the CHANGES,v file in the repository, and there are
no ^M characters in there.
Also, as you can see, this does not happen when call cvs directly on the
command line. So the repository seems OK. It must be a perl issue(?)
I have verified that it is the same version of cvs that I run directly in
the shell and via perl.

I have tried to reinstall the entire cygwin (from installer 2.194.2.22).
I cannot get newer versions of perl than  5.6.1-2.
How do I get 5.7 or 5.8 that you mention?
