Request to package perl module installer, App::cpanminus

Wed Feb 5 22:58:26 GMT 2025

I second the request; although there are (already) 240 perl packages
available in cygwin, this is an especially useful one. I would volunteer to
port it but I am, regrettably, not fluent in cygport yet. I hope to remedy
this someday, and at that time, I will be focused on bringing in new (to
cygwin) perl modules.
Thank you for making your wishes known, Dr Bean ;-)
