Hello Monks. Tried searching for this error, but could not find any solution.

Working on cygwin/windows, I have a local cpan mirror at C:\\Softwares\\cpanmirror which is /cygdrive/c/Softwares/cpanmirror.

Everything working fine. I am able to install/upgrade any module through cpan by configuring MyConfig.pm or cpanm by following commands. 

cpanm --mirror /cygdrive/c/Softwares/cpanmirror/ --install Tie::Hash::
+LRU

[download]

OR

cpan install Getopt::Complete

[download]

Now I try to use the same mirror on some remote machine by sharing the folder "Softwares". I am able to install modules through cpan by adding "file://<originalMachine>/Softwares/cpanmirror in MyConfig.pm urllist and using simple command - 

cpan install Module::Find

[download]

And it gets installed easily. However,when using cpanm, I get the following error.

Command: 

cpanm --mirror /<machineName>/Softwares/cpanmirror --install Tie::Hash
+::LRU

[download]

OR 

cpanm --mirror /<machineName>/Softwares/cpanmirror --mirror-only --ins
+tall
Tie::Hash::LRU

[download]
//<machineName>/Softwares/cpanmirror: No such file or directory at /lo
+ader/0x20088118/App/cpanminus/script.pm line 81.

! Finding Tie::Hash::LRU on cpanmetadb failed.
! cannot open file '/home/<homeDirectory>/.cpanm/sources/file%<machine
+Name>%Softwares%cpanmirror/02packages.details.txt.gz': No such file o
+r directory opening compressed index
! Couldn't find module or a distribution Tie::Hash::LRU

I even tried using a symlink pointing to the local mirror and using command: 

cpanm --mirror /cygdrive/c/Softwares/linkToCpanMirror --install Tie::H
+ash::LRU

[download]

But no success.

I want to just ignore running test. That is why I am interested in running cpanm, but it is failing. May be some mistake of mine, or some issue in the script. Please help in same.
