in reply to Re^5: dmake and bash on Win?
in thread let Makefile.PL to do the Readme file for me -- new target?

OK, let me rephrase my question ... ;)

Which bash???

If Perl distributions create makefiles with ba/shell code, they must assume that there is either pre-installed shell or that dmake is bundled with some emulation magic.

I know that newer Wins come with a Linux subsystem, but this is older...

    OH THE PENNY DROPPED!

    I have no idea, sorry. Perhaps you can shell out a pipe with a sleep and check, if it succeeds, what the task manager says.

    p.s. joke :) : if unix was sushi

      Well, the recipes can also be written in SHELL=Perl, that should fix that problem ;)
