Hello again pryrt,

I forgot to mention my opinion about cpanm already presented in Re: Should cpanminus be part of the standard Perl release? -- MSWin32: something is changed and now is able to test succesfully Text::Xslate but other issue are still there and so I do not suggest it for win32 users. Mainly do not handling path correctly in 2022 is... strange :)

Unfortunately the will to ignore win32 as a big market share seems to persist in the habits of some, even genial, dev which anyway deserve my deep respect.

If in you I'd remove completely any mention to cpanm for win32 users

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
