Hi, I've tried installing Imager::QRCode on windows 8 running strawberry perl but I just can't get it to install. I ran: 

cpanm Imager::QRCode

[download]

from the command line, and I get complition errors. The log file tells me the following:

I retried using the --force switch but I still can't get it to install. Could anyone running windows 8 try and install that package?
