Stephan,
I don't recall -- did you attach the output of "cygcheck -svr" at some
point (if so, just point to it in the archives, no need to repost)? My
guess is that this may be a textmode vs. binmode issue. Try making your
home directory a binmode mount, or setting PERLIO=crlf and see if that
helps with CPAN.
