Does perlbrew work on cygwin?

[jrw]

With the latest install of cygwin (with perl 5.14.2), I'm trying to install perl-5.14.2 using the latest perlbrew. I get a hang just after ../dist/threads-shared/t/shared_attr.t...ok is printed to build.log. This is on WinXP Pro 2002 SP3. Previous tries at using perlbrew on different versions of cygwin (with different versions of perl, such as perl 5.10.1) have also failed in various places. Is there any hope that I can get perl to build on cygwin? If not, what can I do to work around it and still use perlbrew (to unify my environments so that my cygwin environment uses perlbrew, just like my linux environment does)? Thanks!

I'm not a cygwin user so I really have no idea if it works at all. If someone can get it working smoothly it'll be appreciated :)

Related Stack Overflow question.

I have been using perlbrew on Cygwin x64, and have not had any problems with perlbrew itself. However, the system perl on Cygwin has several patches that perlbrewed perls do not. I don't know the reason for sure, but I know that perlbrewed perls give me the failure described in plicease/Class-Inspector#5, but the system perl does not.
