Update:

I deleted c:\cygwin, and did a complete new install.

Problem is still there:

I'll send email to the latex2html mailing list to see if someone there 
knows anything.  If anyone has any suggestion to try, I'll do it. I am 
at a loss now what to do. I'll try to use my windows perl from inside 
cygwin, but I was trying to avoid doing this due to many problems this 
can cause. Should I try building cygwin from sources on my PC?

I tried running perl on some small script (hello world) and no problem, 
it works ok.

$ perl -v

This is perl, v5.10.1 (*) built for i686-cygwin-thread-multi-64int
(with 12 registered patches, see perl -V for more detail)
