Strictly speaking, cygwin doesn't provide a Linux environment, it provides a fairly complete POSIX environment that just happens to emulate Linux environments. In this case, cygwin might be unnecessary complication. Perl has a surfeit of capabilities for everything you listed that needs to be done. Aside from strictly *nixish features, Perl is effectively identical from the programmer's point of view between the platforms - what differs is how everything is implemented, which you don't care about.
