in reply to How do folks build modules under cygwin perl?

gregor-e:

I downloaded the gcc packages, and then in a bash shell I do the usual:

perl Makefile.pl make make test make install

or

perl Build.PL ./Build ./Build test ./Build install

It works pretty well. Most things just work:

DBI-1.601, DBD-ODBC-1.15_2, OLE::Storage_Lite, Parse::RecDescent, Spreadsheet::WriteExcel, Unicode::Map, IO-stringy-2.110, Spreadsheet::ParseExcel, List-MoreUtils-0.22, SQL-Statement-1.15, Convert-EBCDIC-0.06, Class-Accessor-0.31, Params-Validate-0.91, Data-Dump-1.08, Test-Simple-0.80, Test-Exception-0.27, Array-Compare-1.16, Tree-DAG_Node-1.06, Test-Warn-0.10, Tree-1.01 and many others.
