The latest one is from perl-5.10.1-5

This will not work.
perlrebase works only for cygwin perls, not for strawberry or activestate perls.

Do you really want to rebase your activestate perl 5.6.1?

I told you to run perlrebase, not perlrebase 5.6.1

See perl -V:archlib

My 5.6.1 *cygwin* perl has:
$ perl5.6.1 -V:archlib
archlib='/usr/lib/perl5/5.6.1/cygwin-debug';

My ActiveState perl has
> perl -V:archlib
archlib='C:\Perl\lib';

But this should not be rebased by cygwin as it has a different fork
strategy than cygwin.
