No. This doesn't work.

I unsetted ORACLE_HOME and PATH in shell.
Looks ORACLE_HOME can be initialized in perl script, but PATH- not!
Unfortunately, I can't test it on Linux- DBD::Oracle on Linux simply 
doesn't need ORACLE_HOME/bin in PATH.
So, I still don't know is this perl or cygwin problem ;-)
