Are you giving it an input line? <STDIN> returns one line (in scalar

Since this is not cygwin related, you may want to try asking this kind
of question at http://perlmonks.org/?node=Seekers%20of%20Perl%20Wisdom or
perl beginners (http://lists.perl.org/showlist.cgi?name=beginners)
or comp.lang.perl.misc or comp.lang.perl.moderated.
