I don't know what msysgit does for perl but if you can make it use
strawberry perl's perl + modules that'd be easiest:

    http://strawberryperl.com

It comes with an easy-to use CPAN shell out of the box.

Odd that sh.exe is the slowest bit.

One thing (as the t/README notes) that'll make the tests much faster
is using a ramdisk for the trash directory, but I don't know if
Windows can do that.
