Thanks, Achim. I have not done anything "out of the ordinary" beyond
"cpan module <name>" from withing a Cygwin bash shell. So it sounds
like I might simply be able to rename my /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl
directory (to, say, .old) and pull in any needed modules from the
Cygwin distribution. I'll also move ~/.cpan out of the way, but that
probably won't be necessary.
