in thread [Win32] PerlIO-Layers fails 4 tests on perl-5.10 only

Hm. Trouble is, to run Build.pl on my setup, I just type "build".

Which means that when I get to step 2 in that scenario, I'm simple redoing step 1.

Never mind, press on:

Hm. No output of any kind from the "compile"; and error messages that make no sense from the nmake build test. Real useful!

    Heh - it seems that Module::Build does not scream bloody murder when files from the MANIFEST are not found where they should be. It seems that extracting the distribution tarball went awry somewhere for you (maybe GNU tar vs. other tar / Archive::Tar) and so the directories were only partially created. I think I remember that Archive::Tar is/was broken in that regard, as it always used some GNU extension instead of using POSIX conventions for storing the file path whenever it can and only using GNU when the target path gets too long. Or the other way around.

    If you still want to pursue this, you'll have to recreate the directory structure as in http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/LEONT/PerlIO-Layers-0.010/ and then proceed from there...

      Hm. Thought I had.

        I interpret

...

        as the lib/ directory not existing, but if it exists then I'm out of ideas.
