problems with cpan 1.76

I'm running perl -mCPAN -shell (cpan v1.76) under the latest cygwin.

When it's running, it creates a directory called build/tmp.
When a module has prerequisites that need to be downloaded automatically
CPAN fails. If there's an error, it prints:
Couldn't mkdir tmp: Permission denied at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.2/CPAN.pm
line 5480
Then there's a directory called build/tmp that can't be deleted. If I
wait a while, that directory disappears.

What process is running that's keeping that directory around? Is it
okay to kill that process? It's annoying to have to wait for whatever
is running to stop so that I can compile another perl module.

Thanks for your help,
Steve Kelem
