Problem installing CPAN module

Hi - While doing a fresh install of Cygwin, I have run into errors
installing a CPAN Perl module that worked last month. The module is
Proc::ProcessTable. It now reports a "`PID_ZOMBIE' undeclared" error message
during compilation. The relevant snippet is below. 

Back in May, I reported a different problem with this module:
http://www.mail-archive.com/cygwin@cygwin.com/msg54579.html 
At that time, cygcheck showed the core 'cygwin' version as 1.5.16-1. The
'cygwin' version is now 1.5.17-1. The versions of Cygwin Perl (5.8.6-4) and
CPAN Proc::ProcessTable version (0.39) have not changed. 

Any thought on what the problem might be? 

Regards,
Sonam
