Instructions I found on the web last night, I forget exact URLs, when
I had problems with my CPAN under cygwin, were essentially:
Close all cygwin windows
Get rid of any processes left running if any
Go to the Run command window (Eg press Windows+R)
type in "C:\cygwin\bin\ash.exe"
When the window comes up put in
/bin/rebaseall
This overcame the main problem with my system, and allowed, after a lot
more compiling, to get things working.
I found that my Cygwin install had more missing than I thought, and had
to add make, gcc, and a few other things (I forget now) so I threw in
flex, bison, and a few other dev tools for good measure. You may not
be in that position.
In the hope that this helps you,
Hugh
