Hi pryrt, this may be a premature reply but I didn't want to get caught up something else, and neglect to acknowledge a really exemplary bit of helpfulness.

Module::Install::Tiny doesn't exist; I think you mean Module::Build::Tiny, as that's what Readonly's Build.pl needs.

Erm, yes, exactly. My bad. Module::Build::Tiny. I'm working on installing Readonly in exactly the way you showed above, and bizarrely it (cpanm) is just hanging. Well over 3 minutes now. I'm working under CMD.exe, not cygwin bash. I'll probably add to this reply with a later edit once I figure out (if I figure out) what's going wrong.

I got Readonly installed. I would try to describe the contortions I went through, with CMD.exe changing directory by itself (I know, I know, impossible) and every effort to run .\Build in it thwarted by the process hanging or other things, but I don't think most readers would believe me. I finally had to wipe out the build directory for Readonly and start from scratch with cpanm as you showed. I did that in a cygwin bash shell since I was just fed up with CMD.exe behaving as if it had lost its mind.

I got strongly motivated to work out how to be in a cygwin shell but be using win32 reliably and have this figured out now and I really appreciate the help I been given in this thread.
