[p4perl] installation problem

That explains it: the installer is for the native Windows build of Perl, not 
the Cygwin version. For Cygwin, you'll need to build P4Perl using the Cygwin 
g++ compiler, and the Perforce API (for Cygwin). To do this, download the 
Perforce API for Cygwin from ftp://ftp.perforce.com and the P4Perl source 
code. Then follow the standard Perl build/install process:

 perl Makefile.PL
 make
 make test
 make install

Alternatively, download a native Win32 build of P4Perl from

http://www.activestate.com/Products/ActivePerl/

and you can use the installer with that.
