Perl ExtUtils::MakeMaker 'make install' not generating manual page for script

- Subject: Perl ExtUtils::MakeMaker 'make install' not generating manual page for script
Cygwin:
I've packaged a Perl script into a module distribution using
ExtUtils::MakeMaker:
http://www.holgerdanske.com/system/files/newest-1.012.tar.gz
When I build the module on a Linux machine, a manual page is created.
But when I build the script on Cygwin (console session follows), a
manual page is not created. I was expecting a manual page to be created
under Cygwin.
Any suggestions?
TIA,
David
