Gerritt,
FWIW, your test above is not conclusive (which doesn't mean
that your 5.8.1-tobe is incorrect).
You need to setup a situation as described by Benoit
where ls -l appears to show that the file isn't executable
although it really is. Using the access function is the way
to go.
This is what I observe (with perl from setup)
$ perl -v
This is perl, v5.8.0 built for cygwin-multi-64int
$ perl -e 'print -x "/usr/bin/bash" ? 0 : 1 , "\n"'
1
$ [ -x /usr/bin/bash ]; echo $?
0
