You can easily run X in cygwin. I don't have the MSWin computer here, but it used to be startxwin from the xinit package, not sure whether there are newer ways.

Running X also means you can now run xterm and many other goodies!

    I never had the opportunity to test it, but WSL under Windows11 claimed to allow running X apps alongside Win apps

    I only had brief experiences with WSL under Win10, which mostly worked. But I got heavily bitten by registry settings (HyperV-something?) interfering with Oracle's VirtualBox.

    Overall having a (/another?) possibility to seamlessly test Perl code under Linux and Win without the extra layer of VB would be very exciting.

    Yeah, I know I can, but don't unless I absolutely have to.
