Re: "Please inform the author" - error during installation process

Verify that you are using ActiveState Perl, not the perl installed by cygwin by the following command:
which perl

If it returns something like /usr/local/perl, you are using the cygwin version of perl. If you want to install LWP for the cygwin perl, you'll need to make sure that you have gcc and any required dev libraries in the cygwin install.

If it returns something like /cygdrive/c/Program\ Files/ActivateState/Perl, then you need to use ppm (ActivateState's package manager).
