Being vague doesn't help us help you. Telling us what package you're
trying to build, and attaching your (draft) .cygport files, does.

Cygwin packages should install Perl modules into vendor_perl
(PERL_VENDORLIB and PERL_VENDORARCH in cygport terms).

This means "-module" is missing from the *_la_LDFLAGS for these
module(s). You'll need to patch the affected Makefile.am file(s) and
restart the build to fix this.
