Just run CPAN (perl -MCPAN -e shell) and type "install Foo::Bar" just as you would on any unix system. You don't have to actually know or care about tarballs, CPAN does all that for you. Note that if a module has a prerequisite for a library you must install that library first, just as you would on a unix system. But modules that require this are few and far between (e.g. DBD::MySql requires libmysqlclient.) When in doubt, the answer to any Cygwin question should be "as you would on any posix system."
