CPANPLUS does work in windows, I have cygwin installed, so i used the programs from cygwin/bin (i.e. tar, wget, gunzip, etc) during configuration, but instead of cygwin make i used nmake, which doesn't use the cygwin .dll, and is more reliable on Windows.
Many packages install fine, I tried a few of the Crypt-*_PP packages cause I knew that they were Pure Perl and platform independent. All installed were sucessful. You are still limited, of course, by the fact that many CPAN Authors develop *NIX-centric modules.
CPANPLUS is my second choice after ppm, which works very well but has a somewhat limited/outdated package library.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
