I have occasionally seen a corrupt local cpan database cause this kind of error, and it looks like you had a cpan process not shut down cleanly earlier. Try blowing away .cpan/Metadata, or even everything under .cpan. Also, avoid sharing your .cpan directory among multiple versions of perl (e.g. ActiveState and cygwin, or local builds of perl and the stock cygwin perl.) -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
