Bash cannot find perl. That's pretty clear, isn't it? Either there is
not perl or it is not where bash is searching it. Search for perl.exe
with your favourite search program. It should be below C:\cygwin and
verify that the path to perl.exe (if there is one) is in your shell
("echo $PATH").
If there is no Perl, try reinstalling. If there is a perl.exe then
specify the full path to the executable or adjust your path.
