我刚刚安装了ActiveState来测试Cygwin / Perl的替代品，我遇到了一些安装cpan包的问题。
我想安装未在ppm下列出的Win32::GuiTest。然后我启动了cmd.exe并键入：
C:\>cpan Win32::GuiTest
返回：
c:\>cpan Win32::GuiTest
CPAN: Storable loaded ok (v2.45)

Package seems to come without Makefile.PL.
(The test -f "\cygdrive\e\home\.cpan\build\KARASIK-85id4t\Makefile.PL" returned false.)
Writing one on our own (setting NAME to Win32GuiTest)
Had problems unarchiving. Please build manually
Running make test
Make had some problems, won't test
Running make install
Make had some problems, won't install
所以似乎cpan以某种方式与cygwin交互，我不知道为什么。我正在运行正确版本的cpan：
c:\>cpan --help
C:\Perl64\bin/cpan.bat version 1.61 calling Getopt::Std::getopts (version 1.07 [paranoid]),
running under Perl version 5.18.2.
Usage: cpan.bat [-OPTIONS [-MORE_OPTIONS]] [--] [PROGRAM_ARG1 ...]
The following single-character options are accepted:
With arguments: -j
Boolean (without arguments): -h -v -V -I -g -G -C -A -D -O -l -L -a -r -p -P -J -w -T -c -f -i -m -t -u
Options may be merged together. -- stops processing of options.
Space is not required between options and their arguments.
For more details run
perldoc -F C:\Perl64\bin/cpan.bat
[Now continuing due to backward compatibility and excessive paranoia.
See 'perldoc Getopt::Std' about $Getopt::Std::STANDARD_HELP_VERSION.]
Nothing to install!
有人知道我做错了吗？
