in thread install cpan Win32::OLE on cygwin - t/3_ole.t ....... 1/58 OLE exception from "Microsoft Excel":

Any suggestion what I should be looking for? I compared the PATH in %ENV, cygwin set ans cmd set. They are the same except that the cmd set PATH variable does not contain
/usr/local/bin
and
/usr/bin

    Everything

    OTOH, some of the paths you used don't look cygwin specific, so since cygwin isn't win32, mixing win32 paths and cygwin paths could be a problem
