I couldn't say whether there are additional parts of the CPAN ecosystem = that are surprised by the site_perl directories having been deleted. And indeed maybe 'manual' works as a bypass, though it's not obvious. > In general, if you install Cygwin often enough for this to be a nuisan= ce > I'd recommend adding a package to your local repo that sets up such > things in a postinstall script. >=20 Sure. I like Cygwin and I install it a lot (so thank-you btw to everyon= e!), but there is an easy workaround once you know. As I said before, it's= just a bug report because the final result of packaging is slightly broken an= d would certainly confuse new users. But then again, I'm of a certain age; the= new generation uses python and chromebooks so maybe there are no new users := -) I think the issue is sufficiently understood, have appreciated the discu= ssion.
