We have a POSIX layer above of Windows which is Cygwin, usually it is enough to use 'OS=unix' in the Perl sources, sometimes we use some exceptions and then the OS is defined as Cygwin. There are parts in the Windows Perl code which are not ported, however there is e.g. much code about handling path conversion which isn't needed for Cygwin because cygwin1.dll does the conversion and Perl can use it like it is on other POSIX systems. Other parts are missing in Cygwin Perl and needs to be ported, probably the best would be to use native Windows API calls to get around limitations in Cygwin.
