Hello Monks!

For context: I am working on Windows 7 64bit, using Strawberry Perl 5.18.2.2 64bit.

I'm attempting to get set up to build Perl executables, and I'm running into a problem when using CPAN to install PAR::Package. I have uninstalled Strawberry and deleted all Perl related programs/files, cleared the PERL5LIB environment variable, and reinstalled them in an attempt to fix the issue, to no avail.

When I run 'cpanm PAR::Package', it runs through the whole process of determining and installing dependencies, only to fail right at the end.

As you can see in the console output and cpan build log below, it claims that both dependencies for PAR::Package are installed successfully - only to bail out after failing to install the dependencies. I installed Path::Class to verify that simple installs do work. It fails similarly for installing pp alone.

Do any of you good Monks have insight into what's failing?
Please let me know if you need me to clarify anything or provide any other details.
