I use Perl 5.8.0, DBI and CPAN on Cygwin. Never had any page faults. I suggest you think that the problem lies outside of this and that perhaps your Cygwin installation is a bit faulty.
Are you on Windows98?
Yes. FWIW these faults seem to occur much the same way on two different W98 installs (different hardware too).
I did try 5.8.1(?) but didn't get as far with perldoc or CPAN.
It seems like DBI and PgPP work (haven't failed on newbie testing - I am happy).
