Whatever you're using doesn't seem to be the Cygwin bash-completion
package.  Both x86 and x86_64 install /etc/bash_completion.d/perl:

https://cygwin.com/packages/x86/bash-completion/bash-completion-1.3-1
https://cygwin.com/packages/x86_64/bash-completion/bash-completion-1.3-1

Before we go any further with anything else, I think your next step
should probably be to install the Cygwin bash-completion package and
check what the behaviour is there.
