Maybe you didn't run some installer script -- it patches those files:

 head $(which cpan)
#!/usr/bin/perl
eval 'exec /usr/bin/perl -S $0 ${1+$@}'
if $running_under_some_shell;
#!/usr/local/bin/perl
use strict;
use vars qw($VERSION);

use App::Cpan;
$VERSION = '1.57';

Note, I get the above output on both my linux and cygwin box...

The shebang supplied with starberryperl/bin/cpan doesn't work with Git Bash

2013-04-26 Thread Andrew Pennebaker 
$ head `which cpan`
#!/usr/local/bin/perl

use 5.006;
use strict;
use vars qw($VERSION);

use App::Cpan;
$VERSION = '1.5902';

my $rc = App::Cpan-run( @ARGV );

$ cpan
bash.exe: /c/strawberry/perl/bin/cpan: /usr/local/bin/perl: bad
interpreter: No
such file or directory

*Correcting the shebang to #!/usr/bin/env perl fixes this problem.*

$ cpan

cpan shell -- CPAN exploration and modules installation (v1.9800)
Enter 'h' for help.

Could the next version of Strawberry Perl use the amended shebang to
increase compatibility with Git Bash?
