Don't seem to be able to use CPAN after recent Cygwin updates (maybe)

[Wardman_Michael at emc dot com]

Hello all

I used to be able to use CPAN (only a week or so ago) but now it seems to
time out. I thought it might be a network / firewall type thing but I can
use ncftp ok. See below ...

$ cpan Perl::Tokenizer
CPAN: Storable loaded ok
Going to read /home/wardmm/.cpan/Metadata

(and so on --- had to can it)

(but i can get the file ok ... ?? )

$ ncftpget
ftp://ftp.planetmirror.com/pub/perl/CPAN/modules/02packages.details.txt.gz
Who are you?
You have a user id number of 4012, but no username associated with it.
02packages.details.txt.gz:                             237.34 kB    3.11
kB/s


Does anyone have an idea what is going on here? Or what I could try?
I'm a long-term cygwin user but I don't really know what's going on
underneath.

Thanks
~ Wardy
