I second the request; although there are (already) 240 perl packages
available in cygwin, this is an especially useful one. I would volunteer to
port it but I am, regrettably, not fluent in cygport yet. I hope to remedy
this someday, and at that time, I will be focused on bringing in new (to
cygwin) perl modules.

Thank you for making your wishes known, Dr Bean ;-)

He's earthy, he's pithy, he's ...a bit astringent.
Think of him more as a "topical antiseptic" than as a snack
