If those are all the tests that failed, that's pretty damn good. IPC and particularly syslogs aren't going to work quite right on win32... no biggie. I'm a little surprised that stuff isn't handled a little more cross-platformy; but, I mean, you are working through two layers here... there's the win32 platform itself, which differs from how perl's IPC originally expected IPC to work (c'mon, it's unix centric) and then there's cygwin, which pretends to your programs it's unix, but isn't really.

Anyway, if those are all the tests that actually failed, I'd just install.

UPDATE: wow! a sysv-ipc system service?!? cool. (see below)
