I'll let that stand, although I've seen sufficiently many Win7 systems
lately to be wary of any such statement.

So again, something changed and you have no idea what.  If you rule out
a hardware error (memory most likely if it always strikes at the same
place) and you didn't actively made changes (not limited to Cygwin),
then the culprit must by definition be some change that occured
elsewhere in the system.  If it was some automatic update there might
be a restore point pertaining to those changes and certainly something
in the event logs.

As they say, "you break it, you get to keep the broken pieces".  Trying
to lock down part(s) of Cygwin is a losing proposition unless you are
building everything yourself, at which point building a bunch of Perl
modules after an update ceases to be an issue anyway.

Well, as I said, try to start with some halfway sane PATH perhaps? In
other words, something like

env PATH=/bin perl --version

for starters.
