that's it! It was bad configured. What I did is set the environment
variable TZ to what Markus Hoenicka told me:
C:\>set | grep TZ
TZ=CET-1CEST
And now works date.exe (cygwin) and time() in perl!!
Now it makes me wonder if perl needs TZ environment variable to show
time() in localtime.

Then TZ variable is listened by perl?
Thanks a lot.
