Use the attached diff to patch 'Makefile.PL'. (While in the cpan shell, you can find it 'look PPM' after a failed install.) The patch hack the Makefile.PL script to generate the missing man1 file in the correct location for ($^O eq 'cygwin'). I'm not sure why it's not generated in the first place. Hopefully the author will include the patch in the next iteration. - Roy

Unfortunately, even with the patched Makefile.PL and subsequent full installation, PPM doesn't install modules correctly on for 'cygwin'. I keep getting "Can't locate Term/Size/Win32.pm in @INC" exceptions no matter how I build and install the PPD/PPMs. Too bad. It would be nice to have more broad support, though the Win32 install base is likely small and the cygwin sub-segment even smaller. - Roy
