in reply to Using MinGW to build perl on windows forcing it to expand * into glob in cmd.exe

Thanks for the interesting read!

I hope this didn't suprise you much, otherwise I should have been clearer when I said

avoid cmd.exe as a shell

FWIW, some problems are mitigated when you start Perl from PowerShell.

But in an ideal world we'd have a standard Perl CLI/shell/REPL which works consistently on all platforms.
