perl 5.6.0 on cygwin/win32

L.S.

I have generated perl version 5.6.0 OK on Cygwin B20.1 with 'late'
snapshots, and
am trying to generate additional win32-perl modules.


question:
am I doing something that is possible, or can I only use the mingw32 gcc
environment for this purpose ???

I generated 'Win32API-Registry-0.17' (I did perl Makefile.PL POLLUTE=1),
without errors but
it does not work

---------
	perl test.pl  (from the WIN32API... module) results in
1..139
"REG_LEGAL_CHANGE_FILTER" is not implemented by the Win32API::Registry
module on
 this architecture at test.pl line 12
Can't continue after import errors at test.pl line 12
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at test.pl line 12.
--------

Generating libwin32-0.151 results in more errors
