  Still true, but I've found another:

  That diff is absolutely reliably consistently 2140 for me.  I'd speculate
that maybe the cygwin signal emulation requires a context switch or two, to or
away from the signal processing thread, and so we're seeing an extra quantum
or two of constant overhead for systematic reasons.  So...

  Well, editing it in ~/.cpan/build/Device-SerialPort-1.04/t/, to be exact:

  Change that to "100ms" and "<= 2200" and it goes ahead and installs.


    cheers,
