I don't know where to report this, please suggest some place.
There appears to be a bug in the Makefile in the cpan module DBI. (Not
Makefile.PL.)

The difference is that the pipe character was missing: /bin/find ... |
/bin/rebase ...
The cpan install DBI command bails out on a cygwin install with the
following message:
/bin/find: paths must precede expression: /bin/rebase
Usage: /bin/find [-H] [-L] [-P] [-Olevel] [-D
help|tree|search|stat|rates|opt|exec] [path...] [expression]
