DBD::Pg builds OOTB, with current DBI and Cygwin Perl versions.

.so files are never there, just .dll libs. If you have installed
postgres there are also the libs and headers. Look in /lib or /bin
for the .dll's and in /usr/include/postgresql for the headers.

What is the name of the module you are trying to compile?
Have you read the README in that package?
