The problem is indeed related to Cygwin. The ActiveState version executes the same code lightningly fast. `$ time /cygdrive/c/Perl/bin/perl -e 'use File::Temp' real 0m0.212s user 0m0.015s sys 0m0.015s $ /cygdrive/c/Perl/bin/perl -v This is perl 5, version 16, subversion 3 (v5.16.3) built for MSWin32-x +86-multi-thread (with 1 registered patch, see perl -V for more detail) Copyright 1987-2012, Larry Wall Binary build 1603 [296746] provided by ActiveState http://www.ActiveSt +ate.com Built Mar 13 2013 11:29:21` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
