Subject: KNOWN ISSUE for Cygwin
In Cygwin, the Cygwin permissions for Perl modules in the perl5 directories may be set to 000, so the -r function will not work, and hence tests on Module::Info will fail. (However, the Win32 permissions will be fine, so a use statement calling the Text::Soundex module will work with no problems.) The solution is to fix the permissions on the folder in question.

Well, if permissions are largely ignored on Cygwin then maybe we need to do something a bit more robust than -r such as trying to open the file for reading.
