Interesting. I ran more tests on different terminals and the results are baffling: 
(1a) Windows command window:                         OK
(1b) Windows command window + Activestate 5.8.4:     OK
(1c) Windows Notepad:                                OK

(1d) Windows cygwin shell:                           Garbled
(1e) Windows cygwin shell + cygwin perl 5.8.5:       Garbled
(1f) Windows cygwin shell + perl Activestate 5.8.4:  OK

(2a) Linux Fedora 2/3, X11 terminal:                 Garbled
(2b) Linux Fedora 2/3 without X11:                   OK

While the regular Windows command window works fine (with and without perl), the cygwin shell, doesn't, however, calling Activestate perl 5.8.4 from within the cygwin shell seems to fix it.

On the Linux side, it didn't matter if perl was involved or not, neither did the version of perl (tried 5.6.1 - 5.8.6).

The terminal settings (stty -all) in 2a and 2b were identical, $TERM was "linux" vs. "xterm" but setting it to "linux" in X11 didn't help.

Strange, strange ...
