Cygwin & Perl:
This issue is still present.
Reini's PERLIO suggestion functions as a work-around on Cygwin.
Who decides if/when to use Reini's suggested patch? If that decision
has already been made in the negative, why and what is the next step?
If that decision has already be made in the positive, when will we see
the correction in Cygwin?

All three cases work fine for me on cygwin & perl 5.8.6 with default
configuration.
Having the scripts on textmounts and on binmounts.
Just if the scripts are on textmounts and the files with CRLF, test0 and
test1 will fail. PERLIO not set.
However:
PERLIO=crlf ./test1
and
PERLIO=crlf ./test0
works ok, with those textmount cases.
Debugging through Pod::Usage, reveils that reading from the tied
FileHandle will keep \r\n. Looks ok.
Pod::Parser::parse_from_filehandle ...
DB<1> x $in_fh
0 GLOB(0x8f2534)
-> *Symbol::GEN0
FileHandle({*Symbol::GEN0}) => fileno(6)
DB<2> c Pod::Select::is_selected
Pod::Select::is_selected(/usr/lib/perl5/5.8/Pod/Select.pm:508):
$_ = "=head1 SYNOPSIS\cM\cJ\cM\cJ";
if (/^=((?:sub)*)(?:head(?:ing)?|sec(?:tion)?)(\d*)\s+(.*)\s*$/) {
my ($level, $heading) = ($2, $3);
}
DB<2> x $heading
0 "SYNOPSIS\cM"
Which should be "SYNOPSIS".
So my recommended fix would be this patch:
$ diff -bu Select.pm~ Select.pm

+++ Select.pm 2005-01-18 11:02:32.920797700 +0100

## Keep track of current sections levels and headings
$_ = $paragraph;
- if (/^=((?:sub)*)(?:head(?:ing)?|sec(?:tion)?)(\d*)\s+(.*)\s*$/) {

## This is a section heading command
my ($level, $heading) = ($2, $3);
$level = 1 + (length($1) / 3) if ((! length $level) ||
(length $1));
