It doesn't like having the .cpan directory to have directory path with spaces. Notice how it is looking for "/cygdrive/c/Documents", which is your path truncated at the first space, but not finding it. Perhaps the gurus here have a better solution, but what I would do is have your "udk" home directory (which contains .cpan) be somewhere else. For example on my system my cygwin home directory is: /cygwin/home/putch
