E.g. when you start setup.exe as user A, which is your Cygwin HOME path then? It may be needed to create this path additional to create files when you want to uninstall perl, oh yeah, this was just the first point which came to my mind when I think about it. I don't want to say that it is not possible to do this, you may write such a preremove script, however I think perl users are programmers anyway and may well take care of their own. Maybe it is worth to have it as a standalone package though?
