Or if one is using cpanm:

Thank you for these. I was not looking forward to getting make to work on windows etc. This looks a lot more user friendly.
Insta-update: cpan . worked! Case closed.

Was excited to see this had been worked out; cause i had resorted to dimw? perl like a year or so ago to get past something like this; and now having issues with it.

So went back to Strawberry perl; hit this again; and found this post; but when i run the cpan . ; it ended up failing after a long while. [lots of graphics did display]

Any ideas; or is there another cut of this patch? [seems like maybe a path issue] I am using strawberry perl latest with portable script bat to setup. Here is the output: [Thanks]

Any ideas; or is there another cut of this patch?

This has been discussed at https://github.com/StrawberryPerl/Perl-Dist-Strawberry/issues/259.
I think that the patch provided in https://github.com/StrawberryPerl/Perl-Dist-Strawberry/issues/259#issuecomment-2987915743 might do the trick.
But I'm not sure.

I would prefer that you send any follow-up on this to that Strawberry Perl thread, as I find perlmonks is frequently inaccessible to me.

Cheers,
Rob
