cygwin:

I went back to the desktop computer that I have been using for Cygwin 
Perl testing:

motherboard:	Intel DQ67SW
processor:	Intel Core i7-2600S
memory:		Corsair CMV8GX3M2A1333C9 2 @ 4 GB
disk:		Intel SSD 520 Series 180 GB
OS Name:	Microsoft Windows 7 Professional
OS Version:	6.1.7601 Service Pack 1 Build 7601


See cygcheck-old.txt in the attached tarball for a listing of Cygwin 
packages installed.


'make test' produced the following result:

99 wallclock secs ( 1.76 usr  0.41 sys + 342.21 cusr 375.40 csys = 
719.78 CPU)


I ran Windows Update, which indicated one optional update was available 
(Windows Defender).  I installed the update.


I ran Cygwin setup-x86_64.exe version 2.918 and upgraded all Cygwin 
packages.  See cygcheck-new.txt in the attached tarball for a listing of 
current Cygwin packages installed.


I ran the cpan(1) shell and upgraded Perl modules:

cpan[1]> upgrade /(.*)/


See cpan-upgrade.txt and current-perl-modules.txt in the attached 
tarball for a listing of Perl modules that were out-of-date and a 
listing of the current Perl modules installed.


'make test' now produces:

211 wallclock secs ( 2.39 usr  2.71 sys + 525.68 cusr 998.78 csys = 
1529.57 CPU)
