cpanplus on win32

Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Dear monks,

I have installed many cpan modules on win32, but none (except bioperl) is as hairy as cpanplus. Has anyone installed it succesfully? I think it's a fairly serious problem, because it skews the test reports on cpan, so that many modules seem only to install on non-win32 (because there are no test reports on win).

Thanks!

Just tried Bundle::CPANPLUS on Strawberry Perl 5.8.8 Alpha 1. Test failures in: IPC::Run File::Fetch CPANPLUS::Dist::Build CPANPLUS At least the first two look minor and could potentially be forced. I think the third is a circular dependency on CPANPLUS, so installing it before trying CPANPLUS::Dist::Build might be an option. I assume the last is because of the first two. -xdg Code written by xdg and posted on PerlMonks is public domain. It is provided as is with no warranties, express or implied, of any kind.

How does it skew test reports?	[reply]
