=head2 Tainting Checks

When Perl is running in taint mode, C<$ENV{PATH}> is considered tainted
and not used, so DLLs not in the default system directories will not
be found.  While the tests are running you will see warnings popup from
the system with messages like:

  Win9x
    Error Starting Program
    A required .DLL file, CYGWIN1.DLL, was not found

  WinNT
    perl.exe - Unable to Locate DLL
    The dynamic link library cygwin1.dll could not be found in the
      specified path ...

Just click OK and ignore them.  When running `C<make test>', 2 popups
occur.  During `C<./perl harness>', 4 popups occur.  Also, these tests
will fail:

  Failed Test           List of failed
  ------------------------------------
  op/taint.t            1, 3, 31, 37

Alternatively, you can copy F<cygwin1.dll> into the directory where the
tests run:

  cp /bin/cygwin1.dll t

Alternatively, you can copy cygwin1.dll into the directory where the tests run:
  cp /bin/cygwin1.dll t
or one of the Windows system directories (although, this is not recommended).
/etc/group
Cygwin does not require /etc/group, in which case the op/grent.t test will be skipped. The check performed by op/grent.t expects to see entries that use the members field, otherwise this test will fail:
