Hi Brad,
I have forwared this message to the main cygwin mailing list. Since I have no problems using autoconf and I'm not the autoconf maintainer, I cannot help you much here. One note, there was no update of autoconf since several months and I cannot see why a package that is stable like autoconf and causes few bug reports should be a problem.
Maybe there is a problem with your cygwin perl installation?

Recently (today) I installed the current version of Cygwin from
mirrors.kernel.org
Now I am having trouble using the autoconf and automake tools under cygwin.
To be specific, In response to the command
autoconf
I get the error message
Can't locate object method "path" via package "Request" at
/usr/autotool/devel/share/autoconf/Autom4te/C4che.pm
line 69, <GEN1> line 214.
I get a similar error message in response to the aclocal and autoheader commands.
Do you have any suggestions as to how I should proceed to resolve this problem ?
