Today I was using CPAN to upgrade a Perl library under Cygwin. Between 5 and 10 out of 40 or 50 upgrade candidates (from an 'r' command) resulted in a problem like this:
cpan[2]> install Math::BigRat
Running install for module 'Math::BigRat'
Running make for L/LE/LETO/Math-BigRat-0.24.tar.gz
Checksum for /home/usb06693/.cpan/sources/authors/id/L/LE/LETO/Math-Bi
+gRat-0.24.tar.gz ok

  CPAN.pm: Going to build L/LE/LETO/Math-BigRat-0.24.tar.gz

The error kept recurring (with larger numbers preceding [main]) and I had to use the "Close" item in the upper-left corner of the Cygwin window to kill the execution.

Is such a problem familiar to anyone? Is there something I can do to fix it so these modules can be upgraded?
