  Also, it's not just perl, you can reproduce it in a shell:

  I found a clue, but I don't know what it means:

> $ ls -l 'F:/cygwin-1.7/tmp/test.exe'
> -rwxr-xr-x 1 DKAdmin None 0 2009-12-01 17:36 F:/cygwin-1.7/tmp/test.exe

  And no, I don't know why I didn't get the warning.  I have nothing in my
$CYGWIN.

    cheers,
