I'm trying to install MooseX::Declare under Cygwin. I downloaded, built and installed Perl 5.12.1 /usr/local. When I try to install MooseX::Declare I get problems with it's dependency Devel::Declare. This is the error I see:

I googled around and found this bug. Great, its fixed! However, perldoc perllocal says this:

   Sat Aug 14 06:39:37 2010: "Module" ExtUtils::Depends
       ·   "installed into: /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.12.1"

       ·   "LINKTYPE: dynamic"

       ·   "VERSION: 0.302"

       ·   "EXE_FILES: "
[download]

which appears to be the lastest version. I looked at the git repository and it appears the fix is fact in this version. So, now what?

One other thing may be relevant...prior to installing Perl 5.12.1 I had installed Perl 5.13 and attempted to fetch MooseX::Declare, but had some other issues and decided to try the safe approach. Possibly something from this earlier attempt is interfering with the 5.12?

EDIT: As syphilis pointed out, I didn't really say what my problem is. The problem is that I'm getting this error despite the fact that I have the version of ExtUtils::Depends with the bug fix in it.
