Installing Perl modules on Cygwin

Prerequisites

# Install apt-cyg
install_apt-cyg

# Install basic build tools -- make, gcc, and the like
apt-cyg install cygport

# Install cpanm
cpan install App::cpanminus

Installing Perl modules

These modules can be installed via Cygwin packages (using the apt-cyg install command). Some Perl packages don't install successfully via cpanm for some reason, so use the pre-packaged Cygwin version if they exist.

• perl-libwww-perl
• perl-Module-Build
• perl-Readonly
• perl-Params-Util
• perl-TermReadKey

And these modules can be installed as normal (using the cpanm command):

• Module::Build
• CGI
• Data::Dumper::Simple

• LWP::UserAgent
• Perl::Metrics::Simple

The specific install commands are listed here.
