Previously, many days ago, we had the following exchange:

Running setup from the commandline still isn't providing me with obedience
to the -P option. I just tried (running from a bash shell in minTty):
cygstart C:/ix/cygwin/setup-x86_64 -vdnN -P perl-Alien-Build
perl-CPAN-Meta-YAML perl-CPAN-Reporter
None of the named packages appeared in setup. Now, I did what I could
think of to check whether setup behavior was happening because the
pkgs were already installed.
perl-Alien-Build was already installed, so was perl-CPAN-Reporter.
perl-CPAN-Meta-YAML was *not* installed on the system already.
When I tried placing just perl-CPAN-Meta-YAML as the only argument, in
setup it didn't appear. I seem to be going backwards rather than
making forward progress.
I surely would be appreciative if anyone could help me with how to run
setup from the commandline.
Oh, and I STILL cannot Shift-Ins to paste into minTTY.
TIA,
Soren
