PAR-WebStart - Installation Issues on Cygwin Win XP

| Installation Issues on Cygwin Win XP |
|
I'm working at trying to install fetchyahoo (http://cpan.uwinnipeg.ca/par/webstart.html), which requires installing this package. I installed the CPAN tool to make it easier and installing all of the pre-reqs went by without incident. Then when I attempted run the 'pnlp_registry.pl' script to add entries into my resgistry for the next part of the installation. But...
$ perl pnlp_registry.pl
This script will add the appropriate registry
settings necessary to use perlws of PAR::WebStart
to open PNLP files.
Do you wish to continue? [yes]
Cannot find "perlws" in the PATH at pnlp_registry.pl line 23, <STDIN> line 1.
The normal install docs do a typical 'make', 'make test', 'make install'. None of those failed. In the 'perlws.pl' file I found a reference:
Using the C<Change> and
C<Advanced> buttons, arrange to associate with this
file type an C<action> of C<open>, with the associated
application being
C:\Path\to\Perl\bin\perlws.bat "%1"
So I'm looking for a batch file to do my work for me, apparently. I checked my cygwin directory and couldn't find the file. Here's my 'make test':

There are some errors, but they weren't fatal.
This being the first time I've used the CPAN tool, I'm not sure what I should be looking out for. In this instance I might have some cascading error. But I think I could fix this particular problem by just making batch file from scratch and continuing on.
