Like missing protocol for ftp in LWP I suggested to use cpanminus — not cpan — for a reason. It is possible to get things to eventually work as you want via CPAN, but it is much less effort to do so via cpanminus. You can then continue using CPAN for new modules if you wish. Remove perl_vendor first, in the end this is much easier than papering over it via site-perl. Also, make sure you have removed all remnants from perl-5.10 (including locally installed modules). The ability of 5.14 to fall back to modules that were installed for 5.10 is a double-edged sword, the two versions are sufficiently different so that I would not want to mix them at the module level. Last but not least, Reini has asked for testers of the new perl quite a while back and didn't get all that many responses. Even with those kinks in perl_vendor (which I'm sure he'll fix) the 5.14 to me is the least problematic perl version on Cygwin so far. I have only a glimpse of how much work that must have been and I really appreciate it. I'm sure Reini wouldn't mind if someone just took the sources for perl_vendor and fixed whatever needs fixing and feed back the changes to him...
