Would it help to set the environment settings CYGWIN=binmode ?

Is it a cygwin issue or more a perl one? 
You can choice at setup time between 'unix(==binmode)' and 
'windows(==textmode)' mode. 
You could mount with '-b' for binmode. 
It should work as it does on unixlike systems if you setup 
with binmode as default.

I believe it is in the user guide somewhere...
