It was a deliberate decision to not include it. Just throwing out a request like that won't convince me otherwise, but I may change my mind if you have any arguments with substance. > This allows bootstrapping many other packages directly from cpan into > a local directory without polluting the main Cygwin files. This is still more error prone than one would like and I expect anyone capable of getting all the little things right to not have a problem with bootstrapping local::lib themselves (I'd do it via cpanm, but there are other ways of course). Also, just by installing CPAN you aren't polluting main Cygwin files: the modules distributed with Cygwin install under perl_vendor, the modules installed by cpan will end up in perl_site.
