Re^2: help debugging why module install is failing

> I recommend that you consider switching to Strawberry Perl unless you need the Unix emulation.

I originally learned Perl in a Linux environment and have been using Cygwin under Windows 10 just for the sake of familiarity, but maybe I'll try Strawberry Perl since there's no fundamental reason why I need Linux commands to write Perl scripts (although the shell commands seem more intuitive to me than those of Windows). Ultimately all I'm trying to do is install WWW::Mechanize::Chrome and IO::Async::Listener is a prerequisite.

I already have MSYS2 installed so maybe I'll give that a try as well.

If you are familiar with linux, you could try WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux). I use it only very occasionaly, because I have it only on "my" machine, but see Perl on Windows 10.	[reply]
