Can you change this to being a bug on Perl-Dist-Strawberry, broken in 1.10?
Installing it manually *works for me*, installing it on a
Perl::Dist::WiX build works using CPAN (because the tests for
Perl::Dist::WiX passed after this module was added to the list of
modules to install), installing it using CPAN on Strawberry fails - so
it's just Strawberry's CPAN configuration that appears to either be the
problem or cause the problem in some way.
I'll have to do the investigating as to why that's so and get back to
everybody here with an answer after July 2009 has been released.
[Note: This is NOT blocking the release because I'll just tell
Perl::Dist::WiX to install this module 'manually' to evade the problem -
and I'm installing this module in the distribution for July 2009 because
IPC::System::Simple requires it, which module adds capability to
autodie, which is a 'core upgrade' module, so it'll be there for people
to use without installation. In other words, I'll take the pain and
'manually install' it once, rather than having everybody do it.]
