ikegami wisely surmised:

This is a sh command, but it's being passed to cmd to an unsurprising result.

Having slept on it, I have come to the conclusion that what you say is correct.

This module's installer isn't portable.

Yes–no, it's not portable. I thought I had the kinks worked out of my setup and that win32 perl would handle sh commands but obviously I have not. I'll have to decide how much effort to put into solving that, since I've watched dozens of successful installs from CPAN recently, and this is just one exceptional failure.
