You didn't say how you updated Cygwin, but if you used setup then it
already did exactly that.

I'm not sure I understand your question, but how would you re-install a
not installed module?

None of the stuff in /usr/local/ comes from Cygwin, that was all put
there by yourself.  How about you move that away first?

So your ExtUtils::MakeMaker installation seems incomplete, you need to
install the perl-ExtUtils-MakeMaker package at least.
