+  <p>
+  The Perl utility from Cygwin distribution (up to version 5.6.1-2)
+  contains a bug that causes a "permission denied" error when inplace
+  editing (using the <code>-pi</code> switch). This bug prevents
+  building the online documentation from the source files. To solve
+  this problem there are two workarounds as described in <a
+  href="http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2001-11/msg00750.html">
+  Cygnus Solutions mailing list</a>.  First, one should specify an
+  explicit extension in all makefiles, i.e.  replace all
+  <code>-npi</code> or <code>-pi</code> options with
+  <code>-npi~</code> or <code>-pi~</code> for example. Second, apply a
+  patch to source code of perl utility and recompile.

In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move.
