I don't actually install through cygwin, but use the ppm installer from Activestate. I still need to know how to solve the issue that occurs with the command I mentioned in my original post. Using the version of perl installed with cygwin is not really an option since I already have scripts written that utilize windows specific modules.

If you are behind a proxy server that requires authentication, ActiveState's PPM install tools are much easier to get reliably working than the various command-line tools that CPAN uses (wget, lynx, ncftp, Net::FTP, etc). -Jason -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
