There is no "of course" in troubleshooting. As Achim noted and you didn't quote,
whether a "Windows 7 SP1" system is up-to-date depends on what has been
laid on top of Windows 7 SP1. Since, as Achim also noted, MS refused to use
SP2 to refer to the huge sets of patches following SP1, then SP1 by itself is
insufficient information.

What's not BLODA? You don't specify what you're referring to here. What Achim is
referring to is https://cygwin.com/acronyms/#BLODA and the list of applications
found on the link there.

Is this a computer under your control or a corporate computer? You changed nothing,
do you know nothing was changed? (Those two are often not the same in a corporate
environment. And even on a computer where, e.g., updates are applied automatically.)
Regardless, that's how BLODA often manifests itself—things that worked perfectly
an hour ago now don't.

You have a good reason to. Your perl isn't working, and the person trying to help you
troubleshoot your problem suggested it as the next step.
