1. This looks like a CR/LF problem.  Cygwin's perl-5.6.1 is known to
have, er, issues with line endings.  Look for a new cygwin release when
perl5-porters releases 5.6.2. 

2. Please don't send email to individuals on the cygwin list.  Use the
list.  That's what it's for.  I have copied this message to the list and
reset the Reply-To address for your convenience.

3. If you *were* going to individually mail somebody about a cygwin-perl
problem -- why me? I don't have anything to do with cygwin's perl
package.
