Ok. Sorry to get back so late on this. I tried yesterday but got 
frustrated with Cygwin trying to install PostgreSQL and stuff...

Anyway, I trace this to Alzabo-0.80/inc/Alzabo/Build.PL which does a 
'use Cwd' which apparently conflicts with M::B's override of cwd. Can 
you comment out that use declaration and post your results.

When I do this it goes a little further listing a bunch of prerequisites 
I'm not going to install unless there are further problems because 
Cygwin is extremely slow. I can run linux inside a VM Ware virtual 
machine faster than Cygwin (no exageration).

Randy.
