OK. I upgraded back to the bad new Perl, especially for you.

Here are the cygcheck results:

C:\WINDOWS>cygcheck perl
Found: C:\CYGWIN\BIN\perl.exe
C:/CYGWIN/BIN/perl.exe
  C:\CYGWIN\BIN\cygperl5_8.dll
    C:\CYGWIN\BIN\cygcrypt-0.dll
      C:\CYGWIN\BIN\cygwin1.dll
        C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\ADVAPI32.DLL
          C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\KERNEL32.dll
  C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\ntdll.dll

C:\WINDOWS>cygcheck cygperl5_8.dll
Found: C:\CYGWIN\BIN\cygperl5_8.dll
C:/CYGWIN/BIN/cygperl5_8.dll
  C:\CYGWIN\BIN\cygcrypt-0.dll
    C:\CYGWIN\BIN\cygwin1.dll
      C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\ADVAPI32.DLL
        C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\KERNEL32.dll

The offending export is directly from perl.exe, it seems.

The error pop-up says the same story:

The PERL.EXE file is linked to missing export NTDLL.DLL:atoi

All I needed to trigger it was "perl -V".
