I thank both tybalt89 and Marshall for their generous help. You guys put me on the right track with your examples and I'm not stuck anymore. FYI, the script I am writing is intended to do a survey of installed and uninstalled perl modules packaged by cygwin volunteers and installable via the setup.exe tool (a gui application). There are 420 perl packages in cygwin as of this writing, a considerable number.
