Perl page fault - old news ??

   I'm learning Cygwin and Perl. Perl is currently 5.8.0 under Windows 
98. I have run setup today so I think everything is current.

   $ perldoc CGI

results in a Windows pop which contains ...

PERL caused an invalid page fault in
module FCNTL.DLL at 017f:00b931b8.
Registers:

   Yesterday I also got a 'bunch' of faults while installing DBI from 
CPAN, (but it *seems* to have installed OK despite several such error 
message boxes).

   I don't know what's going on. Searching gmane.os.cygwin for "Perl 
crashes" shows postings which suggest that 5.8.0 has some problems with 
CPAN moudules (and more?).

   Is there something I can do or should do to make this work better?
