Thanks I was not aware of that or

of this.

However, if the patch is the one you previously mentioned by you :
  http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2006-11/msg00024.html

I have serious concerns about patching the "perl" library package
files in order to get ImageMagick's PerlMagick to compile.  There
should be a way to get PerlMagick to compile by only patching some
part of the ImagicMagick distribution.

I believe this is what Yaakov was also trying to say in his posting of
http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2006-11/msg00041.html

Any changes to perl (maybe there aren't many but..) could cause
problems in the future.
