Seems to work, though it surfaced some other cygwin related problem, but it 
doesn't seem to have anything to do with PAR.

Thanks.

OK, nailed it. Some weird heuristic in AutoBuilder.pm
(a Perl core module) got the wrong idea when presented "C:\TEMP\...".
So don't do that (at least for Cygwin).

Can you please apply the following patch to PAR::Packer,
then rebuild and re-install PAR::Packer. Finally re-pack your script
and try it out.

Cheers, Roderich
