I try to install HTTP::Proxy on cygwin using the CPAN shell. The tests stop at one moment (see bellow). After looking at the sources I suspect the problem lies in the incompatible Windows fork function. Any ideas on solving that problem?

Details: HTTP::Proxy version 0.13. Test process output:

I've found that it is similar to the bug: HTTP-Proxy-0.13 installaion stops at t\20dummy...... allready registered at rt.cpan.org.
