Appears that doesn't work on Windows, Cygwin or otherwise, as per
if_perl.txt:

"The name of the DLL must match the Perl version Vim was compiled with.
Currently the name is "perl512.dll".  That is for Perl 5.12.  To know
for sure edit "gvim.exe" and search for "perl\d*.dll\c"

Sure enough, the binary still has references to 5.26 baked in.

Oliver
