I suspect you are correct in your diagnosis! I continued on after I posted and hit the site with the traditional 'update cygwin' hammer and while cpan HTML::Strip still failed, I was able to move to .cpan/build/HTML-Strip... and finish the install by hand. I believe the remains of the previous failed attempts left behind enough cruft to block the usual methodology. Happy with the results, client is happy as well and the damn machine is updated despite a prevailing attitude of 'if it is not broken, don't fix it...'
