I just submitted a patch to pgsql-patches to fix the above and to add a
couple of missing DLLIMPORTs to src/include/miscadmin.h.

FYI, plperl no longer builds cleanly against Cygwin Perl 5.6.1 because
PostgreSQL no longer uses the Perl extension infrastructure. However,
upgrading Cygwin Perl to 5.8.0 solves the problem because this version
uses the conventional name for libperl.a instead of one that has the
version embedded in it.

Thanks again for the heads up.
