Linda, in one of your recent postings you complained that you have problems with CPAN.pm on cygwin.
I believe I will need to release CPAN.pm 1.84 soonish. Could you possibly try the latest in my CPAN directory (currently ANDK/CPAN-1.83_62.tar.gz) and see if I have fixed your problems? I would feel much better if this were the case, I'm not fond of getting lots of identical problem reports after the release and I have no windows box to test anything myself. Thanks, -- andreas
