I don't use Perl, but even if I did, I don't want my Cygwin bloated with stuff I didn't ask for. I just wanted Vi, and I got a Perl programming environment instead that came with a "free" vi editor.

In Fedora[1] and ArchLinux[2], vim is dependent on perl, so I don't think Cygwin is doing anything out of the ordinary here.
