no bug at all.

I used to solve the mod_perl or CGI problems with apache by
subst'ing x:\cygwin to a letter, and install apache there.

n:/Apache
n:/bin
n:/lib ...

then you can safely use #!/bin/perl in your she-bang lines,
using the cygwin perl and any unix perl also.
with activeperl see below.

the win32 module builds fine on cygwin, besides Win32::OLE. you can also 
  copy the win32 libs from 5.8.2 to 5.8.5. don't forget archlib then.

instead of a new cygwin install, you can also try the subst trick
with the activestate perl. this need much less time.

you can also always fool activestate perl @INC with certain registry 
entries.
I for example have this:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Perl]
"lib-5.00502"="D:\\perl\\5.00502\\lib"
"sitelib-5.00502"="D:\\perl\\site\\5.00502\\lib"
