I just tried the perl example you gave using virgin b18 and the perl 
package I downloaded from the gnu mirrors and built with the gnu-win32 
gcc package and it worked just fine.

I don't recall that perl comes with the cdk.exe package.

Are your directory mounts in text=binary mode?  Do you have the coolview 
updates from Sergey?  Are you sure that the make you are executing is 
the one from gnu-win32?  To find out which program is being executed 
from bash do "type -all make".
