I just tried a second experiment (with a new installation).  I chose 
base plus perl-Test-Harness.  Setup didn't report any problems; it 
simply added perl 5.32, and I let it complete the installation.  I then 
ran setup again, and the Pending view of the Select Packages page showed 
perl being upgraded to 5.36 and perl-Test-Harness being uninstalled.

So setup ended up doing the right thing with respect to the obsolete 
package, but it needed two passes.

Finally, I reran setup and chose cygport for installation.  This went 
through without a hitch.
