Thank you so much for this!! After reading your post, I finally able to install Method::Signatures (this is on cygwin's perl 5.14.2)

    Wow, i'm really really glad it helped someone, thanks for writing it here! It took my several days and i didn't even make it to the end.

    I'm back under Linux and it's so comfortable to have most CPAN modules install seamlessly :-)

      Ugh, tell me about it. After trying out Method::Signatures on my Linux partition (like you said, the installation was seamless), I just can't go back to the old way of unpacking/validating arguments, which is quite problematic since I also use Windows and OSX. Installing it on cygwin turns out to be the hardest of them all.

      Anyway, as a way of saying thanks, if you are a perltidy user you should check out Perl::Tidy::Sweetened which understands the method and func keywords exported by Method::Signatures.
