RE: Trouble installing Perl Module in cygwin

[Udaya K (udk)]

 Hi Michael, 
Thank you for your help and suggestions. 
I fixed them by enclosing the file parameter within "'" in CPAN.pm
That solved my problem. 

Regards
Udaya

   Of course that is C:/cygwin/home/putch (since "/" within Cygwin
itself refers to the Cygwin root.  My apologies for any confusion.

   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
