There is a patch needed.
See http://cygwin.com/ported.html for a link to Tk800.023, please.
There are a precompiled version, patched sources, the patch and a
README which explains the details.

There is also one place to look if your favourite module is ported:
http://testers.cpan.org/search?request=by-config and choose cygwin
(first cygwin entry from top), there is a list about more than 400
reports about perl modules I built, some with patches.

e.g Tk:
http://testers.cpan.org/search?request=dist&dist=Tk&macid=130

NOTE: The 'macid's' change from time to time, so if this link doesn't
work, go back to the first CPAN link above and choose cygwin there.
