Perl: Operation "bool": no method found


I'm trying to build biber (http://biblatex-biber.sourceforge.net/) for Cygwin. It is written in Perl. The documentation says to start by running `perl Build.PL' in order to make sure that I have all the required modules. This fails as follows:

$ perl Build.PL
Operation "bool": no method found, argument in overloaded package version at /usr/lib/perl5/5.10/Module/Build/Base.pm line 1568.


Line 1568 of Base.pm is

return $^V ? $self->perl_version_to_float(sprintf "%vd", $^V) : $];

I know practically nothing about Perl, but I was hoping I could still build biber by following instructions. I would appreciate any hints as to how to track down the problem. I'm attaching Build.PL as well as cygcheck output.
