Note: I strongly advise against the use of DBI-1.622 and 1.623 on public facing systems, because of https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=75614 This is the currently biggest known perl security problem, besides require "strict.pm\0shellcode"; and similar nul-char syscalls. Not that is likely that cygwin is used on public servers, but who knows...
