That's one reason why I was asking Rafael - what was his good reasons. I 
know of a number of good reasons to favor Cygwin's Perl (and one would 
be not to have to deal with windows paths in the shebang lines!).

I think promoting Cygwin, including Cygwin's Perl, is of good interest 
for even this list.

I don't know about that. The Perl community in general supports Perl 
very well and most of them "think Unix" and not "Windows".
