I still have a 1.5 installation around, but:
Administrator@pc51997 ~
$ uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-5.1 pc51997 1.5.25(0.156/4/2) 2008-06-12 19:34 i686 Cygwin
Administrator@pc51997 ~
$ perl -v
This is perl, v5.10.0 built for cygwin-thread-multi-64int
(with 6 registered patches, see perl -V for more detail)
so you'd probably have to go back even further. In any case, relying
on an outdated piece of software is probably not a good idea anyway,
and it'll bite you sooner or later.
regards,
Markus
