Yes. Your .cpan directory needs to be mounted in binmode (Unix). From /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/perl-5.8.6.README: - The CPAN repository and build directory *must* reside in a path mounted in binmode: mount -s -b -f c:/cygwin/home/username/.cpan /home/username/.cpan mount -u -b -f c:/cygwin/home/username/.cpan /home/username/.cpan where username is your home path and cygwin / windows username. After mounting like this it should work with only few warnings or completely without problems, depending on your environment settings for the CYGWIN variable.
