I have unsuccessfully tried to install Perl module in cygwin like in an answer. I have got the following error:
$ perl -MCPAN -e shell
Can't locate CPAN.pm in @INC (you may need to install the CPAN module) (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.22/x86_64-cygwin-threads /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.22 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.22/x86_64-cygwin-threads /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.22 /usr/lib/perl5/5.22/x86_64-cygwin-threads /usr/lib/perl5/5.22 .).
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted.
How can I obtain cpan in my cygwin?
There are some additional details. Actually my purpose was to install ack like in answer. However, it didn't work. After installing I have got an error:
$ ack
Can't locate filetest.pm in @INC (you may need to install the filetest module) (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.22/x86_64-cygwin-threads /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.22 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.22/x86_64-cygwin-threads /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.22 /usr/lib/perl5/5.22/x86_64-cygwin-threads /usr/lib/perl5/5.22 .) at /home/loom/bin/ack line 218.

The following was my trying to locate cpan
$ cpan
-bash: cpan: command not found
$ ll /usr/lib/perl5/5.22/CPAN.pm
ls: cannot access '/usr/lib/perl5/5.22/CPAN.pm': No such file or directory

Reinstalling perl helped.
$ apt-cyg install perl
