Hi Nicholas,
thanks for reporting this. I just uploaded
tlpkg/tlperl/lib/Safe.pm
tlpkg/tlperl/lib/auto/Opcode
tlpkg/tlperl/lib/auto/Opcode/Opcode.dll
tlpkg/tlperl/lib/auto/Opcode/Opcode.bs
tlpkg/tlperl/lib/Opcode.pm
tlpkg/tlperl/lib/POSIX.pm
and hope this fixes the problem.

No. It works on Windows. Cygwin is a Unix-like environment and we
expect that gs and Perl are installed already. You don't need the
wrappers there. Instead, I uploaded a new shell script which creates
the symlinks on Cygwin:
bin/win32/symlinks4cygwin.sh
Use Perl, ghostscript, and gv supplied by Cygwin, please. I attatch
the script to this mail so that you can try it immediately.
Regards,
Reinhard

Microsoft isn't the answer. Microsoft is the question, and the answer is NO.
