OK, a little more debugging revealed the culprit:
lines 53-56 from t/2-pp.t have
if (defined &Win32::GetShortPathName) {
$^X = lc(Win32::GetShortPathName($^X));
$startperl = lc(Win32::GetShortPathName($startperl));
}
After that $^X is "". Apparently Win32::GetShortPathName
exists on cygwin, but returns "" on "/usr/bin/perl"
(which isn't a Windows pathname at all).
So comment that out.
Also note that the path to the directory you build PAR in
shouldn't contain blanks, otherwise lots of tests will fail.
With the above I'm down to one failing test:

Did pp -o hello.out -v hello.pl > o_v.txt produce hello.exe?
And indeed, there's only hello.out and hello.pl.
