are you arguing that my cpanm test failed for an ancient tar.exe I have in path, specifically from UnXUtils? The very same tar.exe is supposed to be used by the succesful cpan attempt to extract Text::Xslate ..so it should be not tar.exe the guilty. Even if not provided in cpan conf tar.exe is the same:

cpan> o conf
 ...
tar                [ ]
 ...
cpan> quit
Lockfile removed.

 which tar.exe

C:\EX_D\ulisseDUE\bin\UnxUtils\usr\local\wbin\tar.exe
[download]
