I am trying to install DBI on an XP laptop under Cygwin. CPAN install failed. Looks like it is failing while trying to install prerequisite Net:Daemon (and perhaps other things). So I tried to install just that. 

cpan[6]> test Net::Daemon
Running test for module 'Net::Daemon'
Running make for M/MN/MNOONING/Net-Daemon/Net-Daemon-0.43.tar.gz

  CPAN.pm: Going to build M/MN/MNOONING/Net-Daemon/Net-Daemon-0.43.tar
+.gz

Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good

Not sure why this would be. Any suggestions would be welcome. Thanks
