To browse the CPAN (Comprehensive Perl Archive Network)
manually use http://www.cpan.org/ and http://search.cpan.org/ .

Windows needs it because they do not have a compiler by default.
Cygwin has its own compiler and you use the CPAN module which
is much better since it also takes care about the dependencies
of modules.

Type `cpan' in a Bash shell and follow the instructions.
