What Perl are you using, ActiveState or a Cygwin version?  If you're using
ActiveState, this will add CR/LF.  To test if this is the problem, run your
makefile through "tr -d\r" to strip the carriage returns.  If you're running 
the Cygwin version of Perl, send the output of cygcheck -s -r -v and cygcheck 
perl to the list.
