My guess is that it is a file system ownership/ permission issue. Vista is more picky than XP. Take a look at all the folders down to /home/p6258c/.cpan/sources/modules/ with Windows Explorer -> Properties -> Security and Bash 'ls -l'. If something looks strange, you might be able to fix it with Windows Explorer, 'chmod', and/or 'chown'. I try to make sure that I only install and administer Cygwin and Cygwin software while logged in as Administrator. For Perl modules, I find that Cygwin packages (if available) work better than CPAN. When one of my Cygwin installs starts acting up, I move C:\cygwin aside and start over -- either with a fresh download, or with an archived copy of C:\cygwin\setup.
