Not that particular syntax (hey, you can always 'system("chmod +x $f")'), but it does allow Fcntl constants (e.g., 'chmod S_IRWXU|S_IRGRP|S_IXGRP|S_IROTH|S_IXOTH $f' -- still from the above perldoc page), and it uses the same octal mode values as the command-line chmod (see "man chmod"). If you want to add the executable bits for everyone, something like 'chmod 0111|((stat $f)[2]&07777), $f' should work. None of this is Cygwin-specific.
