What does sdbk.pl do?  If you put a

Sorry, should have been more explicit.  Bug reports should be accompanied
by cygcheck -srv output, attached as a text attachment, not inline.

Where did you actually install activeperl?  And what output do you get from:

  ls -l c:/usr/local/bin

(It's kind of odd that you have a /usr/local/bin set up outside of
c:/Cygwin.)
