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

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...

      I interpret

...

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

        Can't stat lib: No such file or directory

        Seems I created the lib directory one level below where it was meant to be. That tends to happens when you have to do these things manually because people use broken tools.

        I never seem to have these problems with the normal method; only these fatuous Build scripts.

        The upshot of correcting that problem is:
