I haven't had a problem running Cygwin Perl through native Apache though 
I never bothered to measure the start up performance. As for ActiveState 
Perl there is some things to be desired. For example, ActiveState does 
not support signal handling properly and it does not support things like 
setsid which Cygwin's Perl works beautifully with.
