Well, I'm doing exactly this for quite a while :-)

Win cmd.exe has no idea, how the perl script should be started.

Solution: Start the cygwin bash and call the perl script within.


Just have a try, replace the following two lines in the config.nmake:

POD2MAN=$(SH) pod2man
POD2HTML=$(SH) pod2html

This works fine for me for quite a while, but I didn't thought of 
checking this in.

Could you check this out, and send a response, if it worked for you?
