there were already some threads on perlmonks about cygwin, but actually i still have problems using perl (5.8) and especially SDL, PDL on a windowsXP machine. i am planning to develop SDL and perl-tk applications which will run on a linux machine later.
this issue was discussed on the cygwin mailinglist before.
actually cpan doesn't make any trouble, it just looks like SDL,PDL and some other libraries make troubles. installing the modules by hand (perl Makefile.pl && make && make install) works for some, but not for the main modules, i want to install...
