Perl maintainers, I was wondering why the Cygwin Perl distribution does 
not contain a windowless Perl executable, wperl.exe.  Directly executing 
the standard perl.exe from Windows causes a command console to pop up.  
I've had it before in other distros but it would be super handy to 
execute completely headless Perl scripts with Cygwin access.

Anyone know how I could build it or how to get it added to the distro? 
Or make it its own package?

Thanks.
