After running cygwin-setup and updating all cygwin-packages, perl no
longer seems to work (or maybe a coincidence).
Executing "perl" without any argument normally let perl wait for input
from stdin/keyboard.
But it immediately returns to the prompt (same behavior as 'echo ""').
I can do
perl
perl -v
perl -e 'print "Hello Perl\n"'
same result for all 3 of them (equal to 'echo ""').
$ which perl

downgraded to previous version - same result.
$ cygcheck -c perl
Cygwin Package Information
Package Version Status

executing e.g. sed or awk return the "Usage:"-page as normal
any idea?
