Perl binmode problem on text mount

This code used to work on Perl 5.6.1-2 on Cygwin 1.3.10.

I've now moved to Perl 5.8.5-3 on Cygwin 1.5.11.

Here is the Perl program:

	binmode STDOUT;
	print "Hello\n";

1. Output to file on text mount

	perl foo.pl > foo.txt ; od -c foo.txt

	0000000  H e l l o \r \n	# Perl 5.8.5-3 Cygwin 1.5.11
	0000000  H e l l o \n		# Perl 5.6.1-2 Cygwin 1.3.10

2. Output to file via cat

	perl foo.pl | cat > foo.txt ; od -c foo.txt

	0000000  H e l l o \n		# Perl 5.8.5-3 Cygwin 1.5.11
	0000000  H e l l o \n		# Perl 5.6.1-2 Cygwin 1.3.10

Has anyone else experienced the same issue?

Earl
