This is a continuation of a bug originally filed 10 years ago by a guest who never responded:
https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=8344
Under windows/cygwin, the \r character is treated as an empty character, which causes Term::ProgressBar to keep over-flowing onto the next line.
Adding the following line during the calculation of $config{bar_width} in ProgressBar.pm results in the desired behaviour:
$^O eq 'cygwin' and $config{bar_width} -= 1;
Alternatively, it might be useful to allow the user to be able to configure left- and right-side margins.
In case it helps:
perl -v
