Getting SGML::Parser::OpenSP to compile under Cygwin

I'm trying to get the W3C HTML Validator to work on Windows XP SP2
using the Apache web server and cygwin. I'm using the Cygwin package
manager to download and install OpenSP 1.5.1.1 libraries. After
configuring my system to run perl 5.8 under cygwin - I get the
following error when the validator page tries to kick off the check.cgi
script.

Software error:
Configured SGML Parser '/usr/bin/onsgmls
' not executable! at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8/CGI/Carp.pm line 314.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at
C:/W3C/Validator/httpd/cgi-bin/check.cgi line 192.

I get the following errors when trying to configure
SGML::Parser::OpenSP under Perl. When running perl makefile.pl I get
the following:

$ perl makefile.pl
Note (probably harmless): No library found for -lstdc++
Writing Makefile for SGML::Parser::OpenSP

When I run make I get the following:

$ make

I notice the following patches in CVS added to OpenSP to resolve this.

http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_id=2437&m ax_rows=25&style=nested&viewmonth=200408

http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=55150 72&forum_id=2409

(Downloading and running this from CVS doesn't appear to resolve the
issue.)

This guy seems to have done it - but perhaps it was with a different
version of openSP

Has anyone else resolved this issue?

There's a ppm package for SGML::Parser::OpenSP available at
http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/ .
It won't work with Cygwin perl, but will work with ActiveState perl 5.8 (or
indeed just about any multithreaded perl 5.8 built as "native" Win32).

Having installed ActiveState perl you would then install
SGML::Parser::OpenSP by running:
ppm install http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/SGML-Parser-OpenSP.ppd
