choroba asked yesterday: 
Wait, doesn't cygwin have a separate package for Perl documentation?

No, I don't think so (and I checked, using the `cygcheck' tool). It has perl-Pod-Perldoc shown below. Maybe you are thinking of many Gnu/Linux distros, where there is a separate Perl documentation package.

$ cygcheck -i perl-Pod-Perldoc
