Reposting. This may have gotten lost in the shuffle. I remain ready to 
test and report as much as is helpful.        David

Hmmm... My reading online had led me to think this would give me a 
"version" response. I was trying for the simplest possible invocation of 
the perl6 binary.

So, to be clear, any and all attempts to run perl6 under cygwin give the 
same response. All of the following examples fail in the same way:

$ perl6 test.p6
$ perl6 --version
$ perl6
$ perl6 -e "print 1"

I appreciate your time on this. I have now installed parrot-devel.
But the "Null PMC" error I reported above persists.

What do we try next?

David
