That is a convoluted way of saying version 1.5.14. This is a very dated version, released more than 2.5 years ago (2005-04-01). We don't support anything but the current release, so I'm afraid you're on your own. Cygwin is designed to be backwards binary compatible so in these kinds of situations a newer DLL should always work when replacing an older one. There is a unofficial project called the Cygwin time machine that has some older versions of packages. > We are running on windows (many flavours) and cygwin is installed as > part of one of our applications and cannot be changed.

The supplier of this application is required to give you the complete source to the version of Cygwin they used, as well as the source of the application. If all else fails you can take this source and either a) rebuild perl against the old version of Cygwin they used or b) rebuild the application against a modern version of Cygwin. If they won't give you the complete source they're in violation of the license.
