> I run a Perlscript with a Database-Interface in cygwin. The database is web-based. The character set of my values is latin1, but when I browse the Database the values are shown in UTF-8. Does cygwin generally deliver values in UTF-8? Can I change it somehow? The values should be encoded in latin1.

perl or cygwin per se do no encoding with your database data.
This is a matter of the perl module and database client and server you 
are using. So you are better asking at perlmonks
