in reply to Unable to use Module::Starter::AddModule under windows

Looking at the source of Module::Starter::AddModule, it suffers from trying to use a Unixish command line approach even with the Windows default shell, which doesn't work there:

if( $guesser->uses_module_build ) { $self->verbose( "Detected Module::Build" ); system( $^X, 'Build.PL' ); system( './Build', 'manifest' ); }

I think a good approach here would be to make the module use the appropriate path separator for each platform.

I don't see how you can easily fix that without patching the module itself.

    Thanks for the help (again). It probably is time to burn that book and be done with really neat things that don't quite work. (Would you believe that its link to its errata page is broken)
