I don't see the error immediately. You have to check the rebase.lst
and ldd perl.exe.
But I strongly advise against using perlbrew on cygwin. There's
something odd going on with PERL5LIB and could not find a solution.

Either us my build.sh and build_common.sh scripts to compile your perls
or use my new App-perlall from my github or CPAN.
Using a customized build.sh is still a bit better.
It is easy to generate custom perl exe and dll and archlib's to
seperate various perl installations globally, which can be easily
rebased and maintained.

I have almost every combination of perl versions,
threaded/non-threaded, DEBUG/non-debug on cygwin to test in
/usr/local/bin/
