Note:
I strongly advise against the use of DBI-1.622 and 1.623 on public
facing systems,
because of https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=75614
This is the currently biggest known perl security problem,
besides require "strict.pm\0shellcode"; and similar nul-char syscalls.

Not that is likely that cygwin is used on public servers, but who knows...

The patches are at also at https://github.com/rurban/distroprefs
