Just for record sending this to Strawberry's RT - I know that it is not
a problem of Strawberry itself; however it casts a "bad light" on
Strawberry as users simply see that cpan installation in certain cases
fails.
We should perhaps investigate & find a workaround (after April release)
- AFAIK some guy was also asking about that on win32-perl list (and
bunch of others not asking are definitely suffering also).
