... and keep track of your lowest base address before the new DLL
and rebase the new CPAN dll starting with the offset from the latest one.

One could even think of releasing a CPAN::CygwinRebase module for
doing that automatically with every CPAN archlib update.
You won't even need killing bash and use ash for this, so it would
be pretty hidden behind the scenes. Good idea. Thanks!
