Which is an example of horribly sloppy programming somewhere in CPAN. I can't believe we still have issues with spaces in filenames... > A local fix would be to move your cygwin cpan to ~/.cpan (which probably > maps to something like C:\cygwin\home\noah\.cpan in Windows) - no spaces. I would guess rather that the reason the OP's .cpan is in C:\Documents and Settings\noah is because that *is* ~. In which case he would need to change his home directory in cygwin's passwd file (or rerun cpan config and point it someplace else..) -- Mark J. Reed <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
