Perl-5.8.1-1 package wants Cygwin1.dll:__getreent

"Cygcheck -s -r -v perl" output attached in perl5811.out

I installed Perl-5.8.1-1; no cygwin1.dll upgrade was available.
Calling perl raised this error:
  "Cygperl5_8_1.dll file is linked to missing export
  CYGWIN1.DLL:__getreent"

As cygcheck shows, this is win98 with
   C:/cygwin/bin/cygwin1.dll - os=4.0 img=1.0 sys=4.0
     "cygwin1.dll" v0.0 ts=2003/3/18 9:20

1) Does Perl-5.8.1-1 need a new cygwin1.dll?

2) Setup will uninstall the new version but won't,
after restart, recognize the earlier version, alone,
as a "local install" in ../reelease/perl.
How do I backtrack cygwin/setup.exe's records to
allow re-install of the earlier version?
