Oh boy, what a run around for such a simple resolution.  I am very
grateful having a 'native' Perl/TK for Cygwin vs. having to using
ActivePerl and shell out to Cygwin scripts, but this could have been an
easier transition.

Yes, I will look for the release with much anticipation and test as soon
as it does.

Thank you,
