Perl creates html-file, view from cmd.exe => Access is denied

I use cygwin perl to create some html files from cygwin sh. When I then 
later from cmd.exe (or cygwin sh) try to open one of these files from 
the command line with

    temp.html

I get the error "Access denied". This does not happen if I use the same 
trivial script from cmd.exe using ActiveState perl.

There seem to be some problems with the ACL list for the created file. 
It looks to me like a cygwin bug. Below are more details.

Kind regards,
Lennart

**********************
The perl script looks like this:

  use strict;
  open(OUT, ">temp.html") or die "Can't create temp.html: $!";
  print OUT qq[
    <html>
      <head>
        <title>temp html file</title>
      </head>
      <body>
        temp.html here!
      </body>
    </html>
  ];
  close(OUT);

The output from "cacls temp.html" is
