in thread create-modulino.pl appears in a CPAN module Makefile.PL, and nukes the install retval

If the normal behavior with strawberry is that make commands use cmd, not sh, there may be already fixed distros that rely on that (checking os in Makefile.PL). Futzing your setup to make this one work would then break those; better to just see it as a bug in this distro and change nothing in your setup.

    To my knowledge, there's no port of sh available for Windows.

    (There are Cywgin and MSYS binaries, but those run inside of an emulation of unix.)

    One of the motivations for Module::Build was to end the reliance on external OS-specific tools. ExtUtils::MakeMaker relies on make and therefore on external tools or Perl re-implementations of them.

      Git for Windows (referenced from https://git-scm.com/downloads/win) provides a BASH emulation, used to run Git from the command line. Some of the external commands, like ls, vi, nano and perl (currently v5.38.2), are provided, others, like ed, mkfs 😉, or gcc, aren't, but you can call Windows programs just like from CMD.EXE. This is, of course, also an emulation, but one that you possibly might have installed anyway.

        "Git for Windows" is just a bundle of MSYS packages, which I already mentioned.
