I haven't seen this report before, but unfortunately it wouldn't help much if I
had.

I've never used perl on windows (or Cygwin for that matter), so I don't think I
have any useful suggestions.

You might like to ensure that you have the same version of libcurl as your
Curl::easy was compiled for (as it seems like a binary install), or check that
you actually have an 'easy.dll'. I don't know what windows error 998 might be.

You could try updating to Curl::easy 1.20, which should build automatically with
any reasonably current Curl version, but again, I can't test on Windows, or claim
it will magically improve anything for you...
