perl with cygwin 1.5 doesn't fly.

[Gerrit P. Haase]

Hallo,

I'm getting strange errors when I compile Perl 5.8 with Cygwin 1.5,
well, miniperl.exe compiles, but then the first simple tests break:

1. This as script executed with miniperl.exe:
%module = ( cygwin  => 'Cygwin' );
$module = $module{$^O} || 'Unix';
print "$module\n";

gives what is expected:
$ ./miniperl ./minitest.pl
Cygwin


2. If I change the script now to be:
my %module = ( cygwin  => 'Cygwin' );
$module = $module{$^O} || 'Unix';
print "$module\n";

I get:
$ ./miniperl ./minitest.pl
Unix


3. And if a second 'my' is added:
my %module = ( cygwin  => 'Cygwin' );
my $module = $module{$^O} || 'Unix';
print "$module\n";

I get:
$ ./miniperl ./minitest.pl



What is wrong with 'my' on Cygwin 1.5?
