I have installed cpan Test::PerlTidy but issue remains same
with 4.14 version

$ perl Build.PL
Could not get valid metadata. Error is: ERROR: Missing required field 'dist_abstract' for metafile
Could not create MYMETA files
Creating new 'Build' script for 'App-ClusterSSH' version '4.14'
Can you confirm which version of cygwin you have installed along with the version of perl? Are all your perl libraries up to date? The errors you have shown here suggests you have older versions installed.
There are a number of prereq's available within cygwin itself (such as https://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/package-cat.cgi?file=x86_64%2Fperl-XML-Simple%2Fperl-XML-Simple-2.25-1). For anything else you should be able to install and use cpanminus (https://metacpan.org/pod/App::cpanminus) which will build all the required prereq's for you (assuming you are using the cygwin shell rather than a standard windows command terminal)
