in reply to Unable to install module IO::Async::Loop on windows 10 strawberry Perl

Hi,

I tried to install the same module. I'm on Windows 10 too. Perl 5.32.1:

This is perl 5, version 32, subversion 1 (v5.32.1) built for MSWin32-x
+64-multi-thread

I tried to install the module, but looks like it was installed earlier may be as a pre req for another module.

>cpanm IO::Async::Loop
IO::Async::Loop is up to date. (0.78)

May be this is an issue with a particular version of Perl.

    It could also be that IO::Async::Loop was force-installed on your machine ( eg by running cpan -fi IO::Async::Loop ).
    When force is used the module will be installed even if the tests fail.

    If I wanted to install this module, using force is precisely what I would do if those tests failed.
    However, on my Strawberry Perl-5.32.0, use of force was not necessary.

    Cheers,
    Rob

      Hi,

      No, I never had to use the force option to install modules till date (thankfully)...mostly it's been installing missing modules and then all goes well. Strawberry Perl is indeed a Godsend in that regard.
