Non-X rxvt can't display UTF-8. You should install 'rxvt-unicode'
package, then read /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/rxvt-unicode-X-7.7.README
which contains a lot of useful information on how to configure and use
it. (Except that it says that vi can't display UTF-8 which is not true
because you can :set enc=utf-8).
Your perl command works well and displays Cyrillic letters in my
rxvt-unicode window.
