Hi all, I think there's a bug with cpan and names containing spaces.
E.g., my username is Joe Schmoe, and I get:
>>>
$ cpan Error
CPAN: Storable loaded ok
Going to read /home/Joe Schmoe/.cpan/Metadata

There's a new CPAN.pm version (v1.84) available!
[Current version is v1.7601]
You might want to try
install Bundle::CPAN
reload cpan
without quitting the current session. It should be a seamless upgrade
while we are running...

Package seems to come without Makefile.PL.
(The test -f "/home/Joe Schmoe/.cpan/build/UARUN000/Makefile.PL"
returned false.)
Writing one on our own (setting NAME to Error)
CPAN.pm: Going to build U/UA/UARUN/Error-0.15.tar.gz
Writing Makefile for Error
/usr/bin/make -- OK
Running make test
No tests defined for Error extension.
/usr/bin/make test -- OK
Running make install
Writing /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8/cygwin/auto/Error/.packlist
Appending installation info to /usr/lib/perl5/5.8/cygwin/perllocal.pod
/usr/bin/make install -- OK
>>>
Otherwise, how do I install cpan modules to the 'global' directories
(instead of my user's ~/.cpan)? (Cygwin has no 'su')
Thanks in advance.
