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..)
Hi,
I pointed everything to /tmp :)
