Alternatively, the crypt libraries in GNU libc have been ported to Cygwin.
+As of libcrypt 1.3 (March 2016), you will need to install the
+libcrypt-devel package for Configure to detect crypt().

GDBM is available for Cygwin.
Win9x does not correctly report C<EOF> with a non-blocking read on a
closed pipe. You will see the following messages:
- But it also returns -1 to signal EOF, so be careful!
- WARNING: you can't distinguish between EOF and no data!

may result on a DLL baseaddress conflict. The internal cygwin error
looks like like the following:

- C:\cygwin\bin\cygsvn_subr-1-0.dll to same address as parent(0x6FB30000) != 0x6FE60000

+See L<https://cygwin.com/faq/faq-nochunks.html#faq.using.fixing-fork-failures>
It helps if not too many DLLs are loaded in memory so the available address space is larger,
e.g. stopping the MS Internet Explorer might help.
Use the perlrebase or rebase utilities to resolve the conflicting dll addresses.
The rebase package is included in the Cygwin setup. Use F<setup.exe>
-from L<http://www.cygwin.com/setup.exe> to install it.
+from L<https://cygwin.com/install.html> to install it.
1. kill all perl processes and run C<perlrebase> or
