Morning,

I have recently installed Cygwin on my WinXP SP2 box, so i can do easy development on it. After getting perl onto it i began updating the modules that came with it to the latest CPAN versions. While doing these updates i often saw this message: 
WARNING: Cannot schedule '/usr/lib/perl5/5.8/cygwin/auto/Cwd/Cwd.dll.A
+AA' for deletion at reboot.
Try installing Win32API::File to allow operations on locked files

[download]
Naturally i tried to follow these instructions, but came to an abrupt halt with this: 
Running make test
/usr/bin/perl.exe "-MExtUtils::Command::MM" "-e" "test_harness(0, 'bli
+b/lib', 'blib/arch')" t/*.t

I've tried googling for it, but all i could find were two cpan testers reports.

Do any of you know wether there is a way to fix this? (If it makes a difference, i'm running cpan via the Cygwin bash shell.)
