Previously, many days ago, we had the following exchange:

[Soren]
>> I am puzzled as to how I can ask setup-x86_64.exe to install multiple
packages in a single run.
>> I've tried this: using multiple -P <arg> flags, but it seems that only
the

[Marco]
> this works for me, without need of ' in my bat file
>    -P package1 package2 package3 [...]

Running setup from the commandline still isn't providing me with obedience
to the -P option. I just tried (running from a bash shell in minTty):

 cygstart C:/ix/cygwin/setup-x86_64 -vdnN -P perl-Alien-Build
perl-CPAN-Meta-YAML perl-CPAN-Reporter

None of the named packages appeared in setup. Now, I did what I could
think of to check whether setup behavior was happening because the
pkgs were already installed.

perl-Alien-Build  was already installed, so was perl-CPAN-Reporter.
perl-CPAN-Meta-YAML was *not* installed on the system already.

When I tried placing just perl-CPAN-Meta-YAML as the only argument, in
setup it didn't appear. I seem to be going backwards rather than
making forward progress.
I surely would be appreciative if anyone could help me with how to run
setup from the commandline.

Oh, and I STILL cannot Shift-Ins to paste into minTTY.

   TIA,
    Soren
