I'm now confused as to what port of Texinfo are you building and testing. If it's a Cygwin build of Texinfo, then Strawberry Perl should not be used; you should use a Cygwin port of Perl instead. And 'prove' should not be a batch file in a Cygwin Perl, it should be a Perl script named just "prove", as it is on any Unix system. Indeed, I don't believe Cygwin supports batch file execution, except via the likes of "cmd /c foo.bat".
