  • Hi!
    I don't know if you are interested in non-MSVC reports, but this is the test result on Windows Vista, 32bit, with latest Strawberry Perl (mingw/gcc).

    Couldn't seem to install CPAN::Reporter, because IO::CaptureOutput is a dependency...

    Didn't dig into the test failure.
    If you want me to do that, or test something else, just ask.

    ------------------

    Checking if your kit is complete...
    Looks good
    Writing Makefile for IO::CaptureOutput
    cp lib/IO/CaptureOutput.pm blib\lib\IO\CaptureOutput.pm
    cp lib/IO/CaptureOutput.pod blib\lib\IO\CaptureOutput.pod
        DAGOLDEN/IO-CaptureOutput-1.05_53.tar.gz
        C:\strawberry-perl\dmake\bin\dmake.EXE -- OK
    Running make test
    C:\strawberry-perl\perl\bin\perl.exe "-MExtUtils::Command::MM" "-e" "test_harnes
    s(0, 'blib\lib', 'blib\arch')" t/*.t
    t/capture...........ok
    t/capture_exec......ok
    t/noconsole.........ok
    t/wperl.............1/4
    # Failed test ''wperl-exec.pl' capture correct'
    # in t/wperl.t at line 44.
    # Structures begin differing at:
    # $got->[1] = Does not exist
    # $expected->[1] = 'STDERR
    # '
    # Looks like you failed 1 test of 4.
    t/wperl............. Dubious, test returned 1 (wstat 256, 0x100)
      Failed 1/4 subtests

    • That's odd. It works for me on Win XP with Strawberry Perl. Maybe it's a Vista thing. Have you customized anything about your installation? (E.g. moved MinGW, not that I think that should matter.)

      Could you please send me the output of "perl -V"? (If you don't mind, please email it to dagolden at cpan.org, so I can followup more conveniently).

      Thanks in advance,

      -- dagolden

    • Has Strawberry Perl been upgraded to use a newer gcc package that supports Vista?
      The last time I checked (2-3 months ago), gcc didn't work on Vista at all, and I couldn't install any perl XS modules.
      I've found something in the mingw mailing lists about a "gcc-vista", but it's not listed on the SF download page.
      (Sorry I can't be more helpful, I don't currently have a Vista box set up).
      • The latest strawberry works and compiles just fine. Installed Inline::C without problems. I had just to add manually the "libexec/blabla/blabla/" path...
        • That's good to know, thanks.
          The lack of a working perl was the last issue stopping me replacing my severely outdated home G4 with a vista box.
          (I don't think linux will ever be family friendly enough)
