Sorry, missed that.  Still, like CGF, I can't reproduce this:

$ echo -e 'default:\n\tperl1 foo.pl' > Makefile
$ echo -e '#!/usr/bin/perl1\n\n\nprint "Success.\\n"' > foo.pl
$ ln -fs /usr/bin/perl /usr/bin/perl1
$ make
perl1 foo.pl
Success.
$ uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-5.1 pechtcha 1.5.12(0.116/4/2) 2004-09-07 15:07 i686 unknown unknown Cygwin
$

There must be something peculiar to your installation.  Does the exact
recipe above work for you?
