I got the exact same error when building 2.31.

I "fixed" problem with the (first hunk of the) first patch.  Since I'm
not a Perl person, I haven't figured out the right way to fix the
problem -- for example, patching Makefile.PL or whatever generates the
offending line in Makefile.  Does anyone know the right way to do this?

BTW, I needed the second patch to stop spamassassin from thinking that
Perl was running under Windows instead of Cygwin.
