Subject: Don't trust the execute bit in Cygwin
Even with some of Cygwin's attempts at mapping Win32->UNIX permissions, using Perl's "-x" in Cygwin isn't very reliable. However, Cygwin does clean up the path to use ':' (which is correctly reported in Config), and more or less doesn't act like MSWIN. Thus, in your Whence sub (the else part), it should check for ($^O =~ /cygwin/i) and skip the execute checks in that block.

I uploaded 0.19 with the suggested fix, though I was unable to test it without Cygwin.
