ASSI, what about adding to the long list of packages you maintain 
another one, App::cpanminus, providing the commandline tool, 'cpanm', a 
popular alternative to the venerable CPAN, and the installer of choice 
of perl app developers?

https://metacpan.org/pod/App::cpanminus
https://github.com/miyagawa/cpanminus

I am motivated to ask this by the efforts of the developer of 
App::perlbrew, a/the perl environment manager to extend support for 
cygwin, 

https://metacpan.org/pod/App::perlbrew
https://github.com/gugod/App-perlbrew/pull/838#issuecomment-2631585142

which would be helped if there were a cpanm package.
