Answering #1,2,3

You really should use the ActiveState distribution to prevent many headaches. The environments that cygwin and activestate run in are vastly different.

ActiveState PAR
Windows->Perl

Cygwin PAR
Windows->Cygwin->Perl

It's the perl part and what it needs to interact with it's environment that gets boxed up. In Cygwin's case cygwin is the environment so you'd only be able to make a self hosting archive (".exe")that runs in cygwin.

As for the rest of your questions why haven't you installed it and tested? That's all the fun.
