What Perl version is listed at line 62 in that Config.pm file?  What 
exectuable does perl.exe link to and is the cygperl5_22.dll file 
up-to-date?  You might want to reinstall perl and perl_base.

Maybe, although I'd consider it a bug if it's barfing on a minor version 
update since there is no binary or API incompatibility among minor 
versions (as long as they're built with the same options of course). 
I'm not sure what it's really doing on Cygwin...  In the context of 
Cygwin I'm not sure what benefits if any packing would have.  Keeping 
the distribution unpacked seems far more manageable.
