I might have an idea here: ActiveState ActivePerl currently installs itself under C:\Perl or C:\Perl64 by default. cygwin installs itself wherever you tell it and does really funky things to %PATH% to convert it into a sane $PATH. Normal Win32 binary paths under cygwin generally end up like the former perl-path. Cygwin's own binaries generally end up like the latter (it aliases /usr/bin to whatever its own genuine Win32 path actually is.) If you had *both* installed, and ActiveState was ahead in the Windows search path, but for some reason the cygwin perl.exe was getting executed for the pod2html (which is just a hashbang perl script), you might end up executing random cygwin binaries under the ActiveState environment. Both environments are pretty weird. They were weird and incompatible the last time I tried several years back, and AFAICT they've only got weirder since, cygwin particularly so. I find running one or the other on a particular machine, but not both, to be the only reliable way.
