To browse the CPAN (Comprehensive Perl Archive Network) manually use http://www.cpan.org/ and http://search.cpan.org/ . > In pure Windows is easy is you have Perl from > ActiveState but Perl installed in Cygwin doesnt have > the ppm Manager. Windows needs it because they do not have a compiler by default. Cygwin has its own compiler and you use the CPAN module which is much better since it also takes care about the dependencies of modules. Type `cpan' in a Bash shell and follow the instructions.
