Let's see your perl -V, please.

Its possible the batch file is setting some environment variables which are
confusing the MakeMaker tests. Can you show the output of `env` from within
that batch file just before the tests are run? And can I see that batch file?

I've seen this failure before on Cygwin and I think I've figured it out.
You've turned off man page generation and the tests assume its on. Can I see:
perl -MConfig -wle 'print $Config{installman3dir}'
And give the latest repo version a try. I've fixed the test to remove this
assumption.
svn co http://svn.schwern.org/CPAN/ExtUtils-MakeMaker/trunk
