I've been using this:
#!/usr/bin/env perl
use warnings;
use strict;
use Data::Dumper;
die "This program is only useful on Cygwin.\n"
unless ($^O eq "cygwin");
my $filename = shift;
$filename =~ s(/nul$)()i;
$filename = qx(realpath $filename); chomp $filename;
$filename = qx(cygpath -w $filename); chomp $filename;
$filename = q(\\\\.\\) . $filename;
$filename .= "\\nul";
if (unlink $filename) {
print "Removed $filename.\n";
} else {
warn "Can't unlink $filename: $!";
}
