Hello!
Somebody can tell me from what URL I must to download
a perl module and how to install it in Cygwing?
To browse the CPAN (Comprehensive Perl Archive Network)
manually use http://www.cpan.org/ and http://search.cpan.org/ .
In pure Windows is easy is you have Perl from
ActiveState but Perl installed in Cygwin doesnt have
the ppm Manager.
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.
