Perl ported to Cygwin bug report (-w)

[Soren Andersen]

Hello,

I am using a Perl that's been ported to Cygwin, I am sure I remember that 
the prebuilt Win32 (Cygwin) binary i installed was pointed-to from 
Cygwin's site or an associated site list of port projects. sorry  don't have the 
specific URL.

In this Perl, the -w (writable yes|no) file test operator is broken -- it always 
returns null on any file. [As a consequence I cannot run the important Perl 
module CPAN.pm to extend Perl conveniently). I am running NT4 sp6.

If anyone knows anything about this I'd appreciate hearing from them.
