- Open another Cygwin terminal and go to the folder you have extracted and install the SSLeay module by typing

cd /cygdrive/c/Crypt-SSLeay-0.07
export SHELL=cmd.exe
perl Makefile.PL 

- You will now be asked for the location of the SSLeay source. Type in the location of the folder where you have extracted the folder.
