I don't actually install through cygwin, but use the ppm installer from
Activestate. I still need to know how to solve the issue that occurs with
the command I mentioned in my original post. Using the version of perl
installed with cygwin is not really an option since I already have scripts
written that utilize windows specific modules.

Thanks,
Kevin

One caveat.  If you are behind a proxy server that requires
authentication, ActiveState's PPM install tools are much easier to get
reliably working than the various command-line tools that CPAN uses
(wget, lynx, ncftp, Net::FTP, etc).
