in thread Can't install modules.

Let's make 100% certain. I don't know a lot about cygwin, but give this a try.

# which perl.exe

This will tell you exactly where it is and which one it is using. This can also be helpful determining if you have multiple binaries of the same name which one is actually being executed.

And also show us the results of a perl -v please.
