problem reproducing perl-Error build

I'm listed as maintainer of the perl-Error module, and am trying to
upgrade to the 0.17022 release.  However, when I try to rebuild the
0.17019 release that was done on my behalf for 64-bit cygwin, it fails:

$ cygport perl-Error.cygport fetch prep make
>>> Preparing perl-Error-0.17019-1
>>> Unpacking source Error-0.17019.tar.gz
>>> Preparing working source directory
>>> Compiling perl-Error-0.17019-1
cygwin warning:
  MS-DOS style path detected: \Users\Administrator
  Preferred POSIX equivalent is: /cygdrive/c/Users/Administrator
  CYGWIN environment variable option "nodosfilewarning" turns off this
warning.
  Consult the user's guide for more details about POSIX paths:

Created MYMETA.yml and MYMETA.json
Creating new 'Build' script for 'Error' version '0.17019'
Module::Build version 0.39 required--this is only version 0.38 at Build
line 41.
*** ERROR: Module::Build build failed

This raises several questions:

1. What is going wrong in cygport and/or perl's Module::Build that is
triggering the nodosfile warning?

2. How did someone else (Yaakov?) build the 64-bit package?  Why is it
not reproducible using self-hosted stock cygwin?

3. Any chance the perl Module::Build shipped in cygwin perl can be
bumped to a newer version?

You need a newer Module::Build (I'm currently at 0.4205).  If you build this
version of Error you'll also find that it fails the test suite...

The dependencies don't care about versions unfortunately.

Which version of Error - reproducing the 0.17019 shipped in 64-bit
cygwin, or the latest 0.17022 available upstream?

I guess I should come out and state this:

I have no vested interest in maintaining the perl-Error package.  It is
my only 'inherit perl' package, and I originally packaged as a
pre-requisite of being able to package git; but now that someone else is
planning on adopting git (although the progress on that front has been
glacially slow), I'm more than willing to put perl-Error up for adoption
for anyone else to manage, that is more likely to know how to resolve
the issues that I ran into.  Is this something you'd like to adopt?

The 0.17019 version as shipped with Cygwin64 fails the test suite (but
otherwise works fine for me); I didn't look why exactly it does this.
The current version 0.17022 passes all tests once you've installed a new
enough Module::Build.  I recommend you use App::cpanminus to bootstrap
the build dependencies.

If Reini can be persuaded to unbundle perl_vendor into it's constituent
distributions, then yes.  Otherwise I'd have to maintain another build
environment just for this and change many things in my build process; I
simply don't have the time to do this at the moment.
