Well, I unistalled all of cygwin and still got the same problem, so it appears

I was running the scripts without cygwin installed.
So I wonder if that could be a memory issue, though it does not look like it

If you are running activestate's perl and it is finding some cygwin perl
modules, that would cause a problem also.  Adding something like:
  BEGIN { unshift @INC, sub {

    return;
  }; }
at the beginning of your script, that may help isolate the problem.

This reports that it is loading abunch of modules, like strict etc
 and they are all where they should be  c:\perl\....
