With reference to Gerrit Haase's announcement, 
http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2002-06/msg01168.html,

I downloaded it and tried it out with 
	perl -i -pe s/in/out/ test.txt
and it didn't delete test.txt. I put 
	BEGIN
	{
		push @INC, 
			'/usr/lib/perl5/5.6.1/cygwin-multi',
			, '/usr/lib/perl5/5.6.1'
			, '/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/cygwin-multi'
			, '/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1'
			, '/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl'
			, '.'
			, '/usr/bin/perl'
			;       
	}
in an old 5.6.1 program and it seems to find the modules OK.

Now I have to decide whether to start installing modules again in
the new places, or revert back to 5.6.1 and wait for the official
release.
