I keep getting errors when trying to install Perl packages using CPAN. I
can see some quite old discussions that appear to say that the problem
is solved by mounting the .cpan directory in binmode, but the options in
that solution given to the mount command are not accepted. I have
deleted my .cpan directory and tried multiple times.

Please check the validity of the index file by comparing it to more
than one CPAN mirror. I'll continue but problems seem likely to
happen.

Claimed solution here:
https://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin/2005-February/129418.html
but the mount no longer accepts any of the options "-s", "-b" or "-u"
