As Reini rather forcefully alluded to, using ':' in filenames is non-portable. You really should complain upstream about using that character in their filenames. The standard Perl convention is to replace '::' by '_', anyway. However, another workaround is mount -u -o managed `cygpath -m /home/$USER/.cpan` /home/$USER/.cpan This will set up .cpan as a managed mount, which supports all kinds of special characters in filenames. Don't expect Windows programs to understand them, though. And you might have trouble actually installing the package (if it uses those characters in installed files).
