Cygwin:

I've packaged a Perl script into a module distribution using
ExtUtils::MakeMaker:

    http://www.holgerdanske.com/system/files/newest-1.012.tar.gz


When I build the module on a Linux machine, a manual page is created.
But when I build the script on Cygwin (console session follows), a
manual page is not created.  I was expecting a manual page to be created
under Cygwin.


Any suggestions?


TIA,

David
