I have integrated the two patches that revert the offending commit and
re-built Perl and all XS modules (as well as openldap, as one of the
server backends has an embedded perl interpreter). The updated Perl-5.30
repository is now available.  Since I have not changed the release
numbers, you'll have to dupe setup into "upgrading" all perl packages in
your installation (alternatively you'd need to re-install all Perl
related packages manually):

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
sed -i.bak -re 's/^(perl.*) .+ ([01])$/\1 \1-0-0.tar.bz \2/'\
    /etc/setup/installed.db
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Any XS modules you have locally installed will need to be re-built as
well or they would complain about a mismatched handshake key when trying
to load their DLL.

Please point setup.exe at:

root=http://cygwin.stromeko.net/
$root/perl-5.30

The setup.xz is signed with my PGP key available at $root/stromeko.gpg,
which you can download and then feed to setup.exe via the -K switch.
The fingerprint of that key is:

      B22B 4890 B89E 5E5A 795C  E305 B40B EC75 3152 B1C3

If you have the keyart script (Python, you can just download from
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/atoponce/keyart/master/keyart), this
is what you should see after importing the key into your public keyring:
