I've had similar problems; see
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2009-03/msg00800.html but no resolution.
Unfortunately, I don't have a Linux perl 5.10 installation available to
confirm that this is specific to Cygwin.

I did try to build perl-Tk from the package source, but that produces a
different error:

no event type or button # or keysym at
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10/i686-cygwin/Tk/Widget.pm line 1105.
