in reply to updating Bundle::CPAN issues

First of, you shouldn't run the CPAN shell update as user, but as super-user (root) - that should at least not give you permission errors while trying to install the relevant bits.

Are you sure "t/taint" is hanging or just taking some time to complete? What happens if you try 'force install Bundle::CPAN' within the CPAN shell?

    The super-user thing is generally true, except that you can do a local-user-only install of Cygwin.
