Instructions I found on the web last night, I forget exact URLs, when 
I had problems with my CPAN under cygwin, were essentially:
   Close all cygwin windows
   Get rid of any processes left running if any
   Go to the Run command window (Eg press Windows+R)
   type in "C:\cygwin\bin\ash.exe"
   When the window comes up put in
   /bin/rebaseall
This overcame the main problem with my system, and allowed, after a lot
more compiling, to get things working.

I found that my Cygwin install had more missing than I thought, and had
to add make, gcc, and a few other things (I forget now) so I threw in
flex, bison, and a few other dev tools for good measure. You may not
be in that position.

In the hope that this helps you,
         Hugh
