Subject: Distribution un-unpackable on Cygwin
CPAN and CPANPLUS can't automatically install your module on Cygwin because the Cygwin tar is unable to unpack the Crypt::CBC-2.16-vulnerability.txt file. I think there's a no-colons-allowed-in-path policy, or something (don't know much about Windows). Anyway, the test suite passes and the module works, but it can't be installed automatically since CPANPLUS thinks tar failing is fatal (usually it is). If you renamed the file, everything would work fine. -- Jonathan Rockway <jrockway@cpan.org>
