Devel::CheckOS *should* correctly detect Windows, no matter how your
perl was built - Win32, Cygwin, Activestate, whatever - if you ask it to
check for MicrosoftWindows. If it doesn't, that's a bug, and I will fix
it quickly if told about it.
Unfortunately I expect that you'll find that Cygwin and Win32 use
different quoting conventions anyway, as Cygwin will use
/some/path/bin/sh vs Win32 using cmd.exe. Which is why you should avoid
the shell entirely.

The word "urgent" is the moral of the story "The boy who cried wolf". As
a general rule I don't believe it until a manager comes to me almost in
tears. I like to catch them in a cup and drink them later.
