in thread Should cpanminus be part of the standard Perl release?

Hello Anonymous Monk and thanks for looking to this old post,

are you arguing that my cpanm test failed for an ancient tar.exe I have in path, specifically from UnXUtils? The very same tar.exe is supposed to be used by the succesful cpan attempt to extract Text::Xslate ..so it should be not tar.exe the guilty. Even if not provided in cpan conf tar.exe is the same: 

cpan> o conf
 ...
tar                [ ]
 ...
cpan> quit
Lockfile removed.

 which tar.exe

C:\EX_D\ulisseDUE\bin\UnxUtils\usr\local\wbin\tar.exe

[download]
