+affect how Perl behaves at runtime.
+.PP
+\&\fB\s-1NOTE:\s0\fR There are pre-built Perl packages available for Cygwin and a

+.SS "Cygwin = GNU+Cygnus+Windows (Don't leave \s-1UNIX\s0 without it)"
+.IX Subsection "Cygwin = GNU+Cygnus+Windows (Don't leave UNIX without it)"
+The Cygwin tools are ports of the popular \s-1GNU\s0 development tools for Win32
+platforms. They run thanks to the Cygwin library which provides the \s-1UNIX\s0
+system calls and environment these programs expect. More information
+about this project can be found at:

+.PP
+A recent net or commercial release of Cygwin is required.
+.PP
+At the time this document was last updated, Cygwin 1.7.16 was current.
+.SS "Cygwin Configuration"
+.IX Subsection "Cygwin Configuration"
+While building Perl some changes may be necessary to your Cygwin setup so
+that Perl builds cleanly. These changes are \fBnot\fR required for normal
+Perl usage.
+.PP
+\&\fB\s-1NOTE:\s0\fR The binaries that are built will run on all Win32 versions.
+They do not depend on your host system (WinXP/Win2K/Win7) or your
+Cygwin configuration (binary/text mounts, cvgserver).
+The only dependencies come from hard-coded pathnames like \fI/usr/local\fR.
+However, your host system and Cygwin configuration will affect Perl's
+runtime behavior (see \*(L"\s-1TEST\*(R"\s0).
+.IP "\(bu" 4

+.SS "Optional Libraries for Perl on Cygwin"
+.IX Subsection "Optional Libraries for Perl on Cygwin"
+Several Perl functions and modules depend on the existence of
+some optional libraries. Configure will find them if they are

+will fail for one of the reasons listed below.
+.SS "File Permissions on Cygwin"
+.IX Subsection "File Permissions on Cygwin"
+\&\s-1UNIX\s0 file permissions are based on sets of mode bits for
+{read,write,execute} for each {user,group,other}. By default Cygwin

+user write bit (files are always readable, files are executable if they
+have a \fI.{com,bat,exe}\fR extension or begin with \f(CW\*(C`#!\*(C'\fR, directories are
+always readable and executable). On WinNT with the \fIntea\fR \f(CW\*(C`CYGWIN\*(C'\fR
+setting, the additional mode bits are stored as extended file attributes.
+On WinNT with the default \fIntsec\fR \f(CW\*(C`CYGWIN\*(C'\fR setting, permissions use the

+.SS "Script Portability on Cygwin"
+.IX Subsection "Script Portability on Cygwin"
+Cygwin does an outstanding job of providing UNIX-like semantics on top of
+Win32 systems. However, in addition to the items noted above, there are
+some differences that you should know about. This is a very brief guide
+to portability, more information can be found in the Cygwin documentation.
+.IP "\(bu" 4
+Pathnames
+.Sp
+Cygwin pathnames are separated by forward (\fI/\fR) slashes, Universal
+Naming Codes (\fI//UNC\fR) are also supported Since cygwin\-1.7 non-POSIX
+pathnames are discouraged. Names may contain all printable
+characters.
+.Sp
+File names are case insensitive, but case preserving. A pathname that
+contains a backslash or drive letter is a Win32 pathname, and not
+subject to the translations applied to \s-1POSIX\s0 style pathnames, but
+cygwin will warn you, so better convert them to \s-1POSIX.\s0
+.Sp
+For conversion we have \f(CW\*(C`Cygwin::win_to_posix_path()\*(C'\fR and
+\&\f(CW\*(C`Cygwin::posix_to_win_path()\*(C'\fR.
+.Sp
+Since cygwin\-1.7 pathnames are \s-1UTF\-8\s0 encoded.
+.IP "\(bu" 4
+Text/Binary
+.Sp
+Since cygwin\-1.7 textmounts are deprecated and strongly discouraged.
+.Sp
+When a file is opened it is in either text or binary mode. In text mode
+a file is subject to CR/LF/Ctrl\-Z translations. With Cygwin, the default
+mode for an \f(CW\*(C`open()\*(C'\fR is determined by the mode of the mount that underlies
+the file. See \*(L"Cygwin::is_binmount\*(R"(). Perl provides a \f(CW\*(C`binmode()\*(C'\fR function
+to set binary mode on files that otherwise would be treated as text.
+\&\f(CW\*(C`sysopen()\*(C'\fR with the \f(CW\*(C`O_TEXT\*(C'\fR flag sets text mode on files that otherwise
+would be treated as binary:
+.Sp
+.Vb 1
+\& sysopen(FOO, "bar", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_TEXT)
+.Ve
+.Sp
+\&\f(CW\*(C`lseek()\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`tell()\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`sysseek()\*(C'\fR only work with files opened in binary
+mode.
+.Sp
+The text/binary issue is covered at length in the Cygwin documentation.
+.IP "\(bu" 4
+PerlIO
+.Sp
+PerlIO overrides the default Cygwin Text/Binary behaviour. A file will
+always be treated as binary, regardless of the mode of the mount it lives
+on, just like it is in \s-1UNIX.\s0 So \s-1CR/LF\s0 translation needs to be requested in
+either the \f(CW\*(C`open()\*(C'\fR call like this:
+.Sp
+.Vb 1
+\& open(FH, ">:crlf", "out.txt");
+.Ve
+.Sp
+which will do conversion from \s-1LF\s0 to \s-1CR/LF\s0 on the output, or in the
+environment settings (add this to your .bashrc):
+.Sp
+.Vb 1
+\& export PERLIO=crlf
+.Ve
+.Sp
+which will pull in the crlf PerlIO layer which does \s-1LF\s0 \-> \s-1CRLF\s0 conversion
+on every output generated by perl.
+.IP "\(bu" 4
+\&\fI.exe\fR
+.Sp
+The Cygwin \f(CW\*(C`stat()\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`lstat()\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`readlink()\*(C'\fR functions make the \fI.exe\fR
+extension transparent by looking for \fIfoo.exe\fR when you ask for \fIfoo\fR
+(unless a \fIfoo\fR also exists). Cygwin does not require a \fI.exe\fR
+extension, but \fIgcc\fR adds it automatically when building a program.
+However, when accessing an executable as a normal file (e.g., \fIcp\fR
+in a makefile) the \fI.exe\fR is not transparent. The \fIinstall\fR program
+included with Cygwin automatically appends a \fI.exe\fR when necessary.
+.IP "\(bu" 4
+Cygwin vs. Windows process ids
+.Sp
+Cygwin processes have their own pid, which is different from the
+underlying windows pid. Most posix compliant Proc functions expect
+the cygwin pid, but several Win32::Process functions expect the
+winpid. E.g. \f(CW$$\fR is the cygwin pid of \fI/usr/bin/perl\fR, which is not
+the winpid. Use \f(CW\*(C`Cygwin::pid_to_winpid()\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`Cygwin::winpid_to_pid()\*(C'\fR
+to translate between them.
+.IP "\(bu" 4
+Cygwin vs. Windows errors
+.Sp
+Under Cygwin, $^E is the same as $!. When using Win32 \s-1API\s0 Functions,
+use \f(CW\*(C`Win32::GetLastError()\*(C'\fR to get the last Windows error.
+.IP "\(bu" 4
+rebase errors on fork or system
+.Sp
+Using \f(CW\*(C`fork()\*(C'\fR or \f(CW\*(C`system()\*(C'\fR out to another perl after loading multiple dlls
+may result on a \s-1DLL\s0 baseaddress conflict. The internal cygwin error
+looks like like the following:
+.Sp

+.Sp
+See <https://cygwin.com/faq/faq\-nochunks.html#faq.using.fixing\-fork\-failures>
+It helps if not too many DLLs are loaded in memory so the available address space is larger,
+e.g. stopping the \s-1MS\s0 Internet Explorer might help.
+.Sp
+Use the perlrebase or rebase utilities to resolve the conflicting dll addresses.
+The rebase package is included in the Cygwin setup. Use \fIsetup.exe\fR

+File locking using the \f(CW\*(C`F_GETLK\*(C'\fR command to \f(CW\*(C`fcntl()\*(C'\fR is a stub that
+returns \f(CW\*(C`ENOSYS\*(C'\fR.
+.Sp
+Win9x can not \f(CW\*(C`rename()\*(C'\fR an open file (although WinNT can).
+.Sp
+The Cygwin \f(CW\*(C`chroot()\*(C'\fR implementation has holes (it can not restrict file
+access by native Win32 programs).
+.Sp
+Inplace editing \f(CW\*(C`perl \-i\*(C'\fR of files doesn't work without doing a backup
+of the file being edited \f(CW\*(C`perl \-i.bak\*(C'\fR because of windowish restrictions,
+therefore Perl adds the suffix \f(CW\*(C`.bak\*(C'\fR automatically if you use \f(CW\*(C`perl \-i\*(C'\fR
+without specifying a backup extension.
