If I come across other signed CPAN modules I'll post.

After reading this, I intended to reply with the following information, but never followed through. But I was reminded this morning, when I had a couple spare minutes:

The following of my distros have been signed:

Unfortunately, Kwalitee currently says it "Can't check signature: No public key" for the first four -- for example, here -- despite the fingerprint E800DAF40F9AC138A2747ED6FA2CFCE568A5ADCF matching my fingerprint.

And the last two had their SIGNATURE files generated pre-Module::Signature-v0.82, so Kwalitee complains about being an old SIGNATURE, even though the FA2CFCE568A5ADCF that it lists is the appropriate 16-character shorthand for the same key.

But at least for the first four, maybe with an updated Module::Signature v0.89, which uses keyserver.ubuntu.com instead of the old URL, maybe these can be examples to try on a Cygwin setup.

<Reveal this spoiler or all in this thread>

(I don't use Cygwin, nor cpanplus; but when I tried my Strawberry cpanm --look on CAD::Mesh3D or Math::PRBS (new and old style SIGNATURE), and ran cpansign -v to verify either of those downloads, it came back with a valid signature (though with the "old SIGNATURE" warning on the second); cpanm --verify didn't tell me anything, so I don't know if it doesn't do anything, or if it just doesn't say anything on a good SIGNATURE (or if the invalid WARNING it gives means it's not doing any signature checking)
