I cannot check that from here (will be back home in about a week), but 
perl should be part of the MSYS DTK package which is installed before 
the autotools (section "MSYS DTK", function inst_dtk()).  Do you have 
cygwin installed in parallel or some other strange setup?

BTW, we also unpack ActivePerl, but only for intltool :-)
