cpanm installation problems with mixed case filesby LanX (Saint) |

LanX has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Hi I'm having a (not very dramatic) installation problem with Emacs::PDE The author decided to host this project, which is basically a bunch of lisp modules plus some Perl helpers on CPAN. Now the installation fails on windows with a weird "permission denied" and no "proper Makefile.PL/Build.PL":
When looking into the work directory I notice that large parts of the tar.gz wasn't unpacked. I checked on linux-vm and all files where available there. BUT when looking into the directory Emacs-PDE-0.2.16\lisp\templates I noticed two identical files with differing capitalization: Obviously an OS problem, windows acts case insensitive while case matters on linux. But I'm a bit stunned. Questions:
Cheers Rolf
*) NB: it's only a coincidence that they are called "makefile", nothing to do with the CPAN installer.
updateFWIW this bug was already reported 5 years ago: https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=94065
