Bug #106581 for CPANPLUS: cpanp on cygwin [MSG] re: $APPDATA $PERL5_CPANPLUS_HOME: I can not fix

Thanks for your fantastic support for perl. I am trying to use CPANPLUS. I get these annoying messages on starting up cpanp on cygwin MSWin, and was wondering what to change? I tried the suggestions, am stumped. I did check the CPANPLUS:FAQ ;) "[MSG] 'APPDATA' env var is set and not on MSWin32, please use 'PERL5_CPANPLUS_HOME' instead to change .cpanplus location [MSG] 'APPDATA' env var is set and not on MSWin32, please use 'PERL5_CPANPLUS_HOME' instead to change .cpanplus location" Here is further information that may help. Thanks very much for any help. Maybe this is only a bug for those who do not understand the [MSG].
