What Strawberry Perl does is facilitate the installation of CPAN modules including the building of C extensions since Windows doesn't natively provide the tools to do so. It's not a unix emulator, so modules that require a unix system won't magically start working.	[reply]

hi does this mean, if I need to install IO:Tty module then I have to use cygwin perl instead of strawberry perl. I am starting a perl project and I am thinking if I should just use cygwin perl instead of strawberry perl and not mix using both. Appreciate any feedback.	[reply]

Windows is supported only under the Cygwin environment, see http://www.cygwin.com/. means Expect/IO-Tty need cygwin	[reply]

I fully agree! What's the point of strawberry perl if it can't handle the install of IO::Tty	[reply]
