That seems unlikely. You may have the complete set that is installed by default but not absolutely everything. 'less' is the pager installed by default; if you really want 'more' you would need to install the 'util-linux' package. 'perl' is in its own package not installed by default, so you would need to install the 'perl' package too. Launch Cygwin's setup.exe, advance through the dialogs by clicking Next until you get to the "Select Packages" dialog. Click the View button to cycle through the various lists of Cygwin packages. When you get to the "Not Installed" list, scroll down to where it shows 'perl'. If it says "Skip" in the New column for that line, click on Skip until it shows the version you want to install. Scroll further down the list to where it shows 'util-linux'. Do the same with it. Click Next as needed and these two packages (and any necessary others) will be installed.
