I use the cpan shell to install Perl modules, but I often get the
error messages like
/usr/bin/tar: Archive value 88578 is out of uid_t range 0..65535
and tar ends with a non-zero exit status so the module won't
install. How can I get around this? Are there any plans of
supporting higher uids than 65535 in Cygwin?

I wish dialog boxes had a butten saying "Whatever". I hate being
forced to answer "Yes" or "No" to a question I have no opinion on
whatsoever. There ought to be a button matching my indifference.
