Although I have to have Cygwin on some systems at work, I haven't installed Cygwin on my personal systems and haven't done much with Cygwin's Perl.
So, on your personal systems, do you use that terminal program that comes with Windows? No bash? And where do you get the common command-line tools (ls, cp, mv, man, etc.)?
Sorry to pepper you with questions. I just don't see how it could possibly work to not have a regular shell within which to work (together with the usual GNU tools available).

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
