in thread [Win32] PerlIO-Layers fails 4 tests on perl-5.10 only

There nuttin' wrong with the tools I use. This is me unpacking the most complex perl package I could find (note the presence of a makefile):

The problem only seems to arise with packages built with Module::Build:

C:\Perl64\packages>gunzip PerlIO-Layers-0.010.tar.gz C:\Perl64\packages>tar -xvf PerlIO-Layers-0.010.tar PerlIO-Layers-0.010 README Changes LICENSE INSTALL dist.ini META.yml MANIFEST Build.PL META.json t 10-basics.t 00-compile.t PerlIO Layers.pm Layers.xs release-kwalitee.t release-pod-syntax.t release-pod-coverage.t C:\Perl64\packages>tree /a PerlIO-Layers-0.010 Folder PATH listing Volume serial number is 8C78-4B42 C:\PERL64\PACKAGES\PERLIO-LAYERS-0.010 No subfolders exist C:\Perl64\packages>del README Changes LICENSE INSTALL dist.ini META.ym +l MANIFEST Build.PL META.json t 10-basics.t 00-compile.t PerlIO Layer +s.pm Layers.xs release-kwalitee.t release-pod-syntax.t release-pod-co +verage.t C:\Perl64\packages\t\*, Are you sure (Y/N)? y C:\Perl64\packages\PerlIO\*, Are you sure (Y/N)? y C:\Perl64\packages>rd PerlIO t PerlIO-Layers-0.010

With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday'
Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".
In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

The start of some sanity?

    So which tar.exe or whatever are you using?

    Module::Build has nothing to do with it, there is nothing wrong with PerlIO-Layers-0.010.tar.gz

      there is nothing wrong with PerlIO-Layers-0.010.tar.gz

      And yet...
