Checked in (after applying it with "patch -R", as it was a reversed
patch).

What part of the code in question checks POSIXLY_CORRECT?  If it's the
Perl interpreter, and the Windows versions of those interpreters check
for a POSIXLY_CORRECT environment variable, or if it's some piece of
Perl code pulled in by the script (e.g. the Getopt module), and *that*
code checks for a POSIXLY_CORRECT environment variable and the check
also works on Windows, then, in that particular tool, POSIXLY_CORRECT
would be observed.
