Looking at the current Cygwin source, the she-bang is actually: #!/usr/bin/env perl
...which means it's going to pick up the first perl interpreter in your path. You can confirm this in the cloc code, itself, as well. <https://github.com/AlDanial/cloc/blob/244c1e619c2b9ea3b7be10ebdb23ecd5b6ee1361/cloc> Please note that, because this is a Perl module, you can likely just uninstall the Cygwin package, and then use something like "CPAN install cloc" to get the latest version in your perl environment (HIGHLY recommend to install this in your local perl modules, under your home directory). That said, it looks like someone screwed the pooch on the Cygwin installer... I installed it via the Cygwin setup utility and have confirmed your findings. It *SHOULD* be safe to just manually change the she-bang to "env," if you want to use the Cygwin package, directly.
