Problems installing Perl packages in Cygwin AND Problems with Activestate perl in Cygwin

[Charles Plager]

I am running a (fairly) current cygwin install (Installed last month).

I am trying to either:
1) install LWP and Tk (or any other Perl packages) on Cygwins perl
OR
2) Get activestate Perl (where I have said packages installed already) 
to understand how to parce cygwin path names.

Specifically:

1)  I'm trying to install packages by:
unix> perl -MCPAN -e shell
cpan> install LWP
(lots of stuff goes by)
Couldn't rename libwww-perl-5.69 to

2) The problem is when I've got an Activestate Perl script in 
/home/cplager/scripts.  For example
unix> cd /home/cplager/scripts
unix> ./script
Can't open perl script "/home/cplager/scripts/script": No such file or 
directory

where the header of the file is :
#!/Perl/bin/perl

AND
cplager@pointyjr> mount
c:\Perl on /Perl type user (textmode)


If I could fix either of these problems I'd be quite happy.
