Thank you very very much, Corinna, you've just saved my life. :-)
Honestly, I didn't know this before...(that the shebang determines the
executable status in Cygwin)
Well yes, Dreamweaver 3 _must not_ auto-correct ANYTHING.

Now look at that!

[before]
#!/usr/bin/perl
<BODY text="#000000" bgcolor="#FFFFFF">

[afterwards]
<BODY text="#000000" bgcolor="#FFFFFF">#!/usr/bin/perl

This obviously _cannot_ work.
Fix: Tell Dreamweaver to NEVER rewrite CGI files:
Edit->Preferences->HTML Rewriting
Never Rewrite HTML: In Files with Extensions [...] .cgi [...]
OK.

That did it.
Many thanks again, Corinna. Glad I was able to track that down now with DW.

Andreas
