for sure! If it comes, as it comes, before during the PATH searching you end with the wrong version found before the one wthat comes with strawberry perl, coherent with your cpanm cliente expectations.

I'm used to launch strawberry perl, portable edition, using it's own laucher portableshell.bat but I suggest to modify this batch to remove everything but windows foundamentals. Perl before everything and, in my case, just some utils to make life easier. SO my suggested PATH is:

PATH=C:\ulisse\strawberry\perl\bin;C:\ulisse\strawberry\c\bin;C:\uliss
+e\bin\UnxUtils\usr\local\wbin;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\system32;

You acted wisely putting all information you supposed to be shown. It's a good habit and monks generally expect to have all the info needed to solve wisdom's seekers problems. Even not serious monks need clues, indeed.
