You do seem to be having a few issues with regard to installation.

My advice (in your specific case) would be to put aside the cygwin shell completely w.r.t Perl, and to stick with ActivePerl 5.8.8.

If you run ActivePerl's perl from within cygwin, you can get a few issues with filenames containing spaces. If you prefer cygwin, you should use the Perl port that is installable via the cygwin installer (not ActivePerl).

It's pretty painless to uninstall+reinstall ActivePerl so go ahead and do so. When it's installed, you can run ppm from the cmd.exe shell; that'll give you a GUI for finding/installing PPD modules from the ActiveState Perl repository. SOAP-WSDL-1.20 is the latest available version in that repository, and I can verify that it works fine.
