slightly OT, but you can automate the cygwin install somewhat using setup.ini:

I'm currently trying to use this to get my "cygwin for perl" installation process a bit more sane.
Thanks to corion for pointing this out.

UPDATE: On second thought, setting up a local repository sounds like too much work for just the occasional install.
I'm just keeping my notes on what's needed for building with cpan in a local bash alias.
$ thartman_cygwin_install_hint
install under c:/, not the default
install
under devel
make
gcc
cvs
svn
ssh
under editors
emacs
everything under perl
mkdir /home/hartman and svn co shellenv under there.
in windows env vars (right click my computer, properties, advanced)
set HOME to /home/hartman
add c:\bin;c:\usr\local\bin; to front of PATH (make sure it's ahea
+d of c:\windows\system32)
if necessary, reinitialize cpan
cpan> o conf init

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
