This code used to work on Perl 5.6.1-2 on Cygwin 1.3.10.
I've now moved to Perl 5.8.5-3 on Cygwin 1.5.11.
Here is the Perl program:
binmode STDOUT;
print "Hello\n";
1. Output to file on text mount
perl foo.pl > foo.txt ; od -c foo.txt
0000000 H e l l o \r \n # Perl 5.8.5-3 Cygwin 1.5.11

This is expected behavior. Unless you use raw writes (as "cat" does), the
mode of the file (text or binary) is determined *by the program that opens
the file*. In the above case, the program is not perl, it's your shell.
I think you're telling me that "binmode STDOUT" has no effect. I find
this counterintuitive.
Without "binmode STDOUT", I can see how your explanation would work.
