activestate perl is a native windows port. AFAIK, it is a dynamically linked
version (that is, it uses .dll's for the modules). Perl (5.005_03) can be
compiled with cygwin/egcs, as both a statically linked perl and a dynamically
linked perl; however, you have to patch the source. See
http://cygutils.netpedia.net/. Perl5.6, due Real Soon Now (tm), will hopefully
compile with cygwin out-of-the-box.
