Huh? We are talking about Cygwin. No Win32 is involved here.

Cygwin, Perl, PostgreSQL, GCC, binutils, make, and some more
buildtools like sed, bash, much is already in the base
category if you've installed Cygwin with setup.exe.
Then, after having a running postgres DB you can install DBI and
DBD::Pg.
Just use the CPAN module:
Call on the command line:
$ cpan
And on the CPAN shell do (after init if neccessary):
1.
cpan> install DBI
2.
cpan> install DBD::Pg
Thats it.
If you got problems with the latest DBD::Pg version, post the
output of the single calls 'perl Makefile.PL' and 'make' of the
DBD::Pg build.
HTH,
Gerrit
