As a workaround, do (untested):

  export PERL5LIB=//swece/sweperl/module/CPAN/lib/perl5/site_perl
  PERL5LIB="$PERL5LIB:$PERL5LIB/5.8/cygwin:$PERL5LIB/5.8:$PERL5LIB/cygwin"

The perl code to add directories from 
Easiest workaround to make this work in general would be to build
perl with

inc_version_list="5.8/cygwin 5.8 cygwin"

in Policy.sh.  Gerrit, do you want to release a new perl package
with this set?
