Re: Installation of 2 module prerequisites failing

File::Temp has been bundled with Perl since Perl 5.6.1 was released more than a quarter of a century ago.

Test::More has been included since 5.6.2, almost as long ago.

If your Perl installation cannot find these modules, there are likely deeper issues at play.

I think part of it is the use of `--self-contained`, while also not having the core modules available maybe due to overriding `PERL5LIB` and Perl itself not supplying the correct path, maybe due to running a Win32 Perl while expecting a Cygwin Perl.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
