Hello pryrt,

About cpanm client read my Re: Should cpanminus be part of the standard Perl release? -- MSWin32 Infact I tryed it a bit and then I abandoned it.

Using straberry perl 5.24 portable, after a first failed installation of WWW::Mechanize::Chrome I used force install Log::Log4perl I had no problem installing WWW::Mechanize::Chrome using classic cpan client.

cpan> install WWW::Mechanize::Chrome

...

  CORION/WWW-Mechanize-Chrome-0.27.tar.gz
  C:\ulisse\perl5.24-64b\c\bin\dmake.exe install UNINST=1 -- OK

Ahh.. ..oops I have not chrome instelled: sorry didnt read carefully: ok I install chrome, in the cpan client I look WWW::Mechanize::Chrome and there I prove -l -v (I think is correct) and I got:

cpan> look WWW::Mechanize::Chrome

cmd> prove -l -v

...

the following weird behaviour is probably erroneous..

With my fresh new strawberry portable 5.28 after a first failed installation of the module, I used force install Future::HTTP and force notest install Log::Log4perl I had a strange problem installing Corion's module:

At this point I'm a bit lost.. and have to cook!

update no, the taint switch is not the problem

It must be something within look and the spawned cmd.exe inside the cpan client.. and can be related with my own distribution (I have a heavely modified cmd.exe). Infact if I run portableshell.bat inside the perl5.28 portable strawberry directory:

C:\ulisse\perl5.28-64bit\cpan\build\WWW-Mechanize-Chrome-0.27-0> gmake
+ test

...
