I am having trouble installing the Perl Digest::MD4 module via the 'cpan'

I have filed a bug report via bug-digest-...@rt.cpan.org:

The maintainer observed:
The 'gcc-4' wil be coming from your perl configuration, indicating
that your perl was compiled with 'gcc-4'.
His observation appears to be correct:
2015-01-05 18:38:47 dpchrist@dc8ct591 ~
$ perl -V | grep gcc
config_args='-de -Dlibperl=cygperl5_14.dll -Dcc=gcc-4 -Dld=g++-4
-Darchname=i686-cygwin-threads-64int -Dmksymlinks -Dusethreads -Accflags=-g'
cc='gcc-4', ccflags ='-DPERL_USE_SAFE_PUTENV -U__STRICT_ANSI__ -g
-fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -fstack-protector',
ccversion='', gccversion='4.5.3', gccosandvers=''
There is no 'gcc-4' in my Cygwin installation:
2015-01-05 18:39:05 dpchrist@dc8ct591 ~
$ which gcc-4
which: no gcc-4 in

gcc-4 is an old moniker for the current gcc, back when Cygwin had both 3 and
4 versions of gcc. This is no longer true and hasn't been for quite some
time. Your options at this point are:
1. Create a link to gcc and call it gcc-4.
2. Try the experimental 5.18 version.
3. Install the x86_64 version of Cygwin (requires x86_64 version of
Windows).
