*I* know of no problems using cpan updates with my perl -- it works fine
for me. I haven't tried Term::ReadKey though.

However, your problem is different. It's because of a recent change to
cygwin -- see the recent cygwin mailing list thread entitled 'Wierd
patch problem' starting with
http://sourceware.cygnus.com/ml/cygwin/2000-05/msg00671.html

The change to cygwin is that ANY path that contains a backslash is
interpreted as a windows path, so /tmp\cc001120.base becomes "CURRENT
DRIVE:\\tmp\\cc001181.base".

I think you need to create a \tmp directory in the root of the drive in
which you're building. So, if you're building in /usr/local/ and /usr is
mounted from F:\cygwin, then create F:\tmp

This is a hack to work around an error in the perlbuild scripts ('\'
shouldn't be used as a path separator) but it works okay on most unices.
It's just showing up now on cygwin (and only cygwin) because of the
recent change in cygwin's path handling.

Cygwin List:
  I think this argues for the recently proposed (and shot down) patch
that establishes (yet another) CYGWIN= setting so that, if set, paths
are interpreted as windows paths if and only if they contain ALL '\' and
no '/'. If that CYGWIN= setting is unset, behavior is unchanged from the
current.

  This is the second complaint in two days I've gotten on this
cygwin-perl-/tmp issue.
