You have to manually load all schema's which are used.  Your schema
uses
  <xsd:import namespace="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"
   schemaLocation="http://www.loc.gov/standards/xlink/xlink.xsd"/>

So you need to load the file from
   "http://www.loc.gov/standards/xlink/xlink.xsd"
and store it into '/cygdrive/h/tony.wood/xml/xsd', then
   $schema->importDefinitions('xlink.xsd');


You may wish to improve your program this way: (use ::Cache)  (untested)

  my $schema = XML::Compile::Cache->new($xsd);
  $schema->addSchemaDirs('/cygdrive/h/tony.wood/xml/xsd');
  $schema->includeDefinitions('xlink.xsd');
  $schema->prefixes(m => 'http://www.loc.gov/METS/');

  my $writer = $schema->writer('m:mets');
