in thread run in-program shell script under windows using cygwin

This means that you are using a version of Perl for Windows (Active Perl) and not the version for Cygwin. I guess it is less likely to be able launch the shell script the way I was able to do it above with the Cygwin version of Perl (but I can't try now).
