I took the time to update my binary. It's now 0.8.8 from CVS,
which contains only 2 additional changes - see
http://irssi.org/?page=changelog-cvs

I also tried that binary. I had to install cygncurses6.dll and
copied cygperl5_8_2.dll to cygperl5_8_0.dll. My binary with
Perl has the same problem. It just crashes at startup and the
terminal gets messes up, but it ran through strace (strace -o
irssi.txt irssi). I also uploaded it to
http://www.pervalidus.net/cygwin/irssi/ just in case someone is
interested. Still, I don't see any Perl support from /load.
