I have found a workaround. 1. Extracted the .tar file from the .gz file. 2. Extracted the Win32-IPC-1.11 folder from the .tar file. 3. Tried to run perl Build.pl. It failed. Long story short, I added... use lib '.'; ... to Build.pl and ran it successfully. 4. Followed the steps in the README file: a) .\Build b) .\Build test c) .\Build install

Hi Thomas, Thank you for your bug report, and the workaround. The problem happens because in Perl 5.26 and later '.' is no longer included in @INC by default. I suspect that on your PC you have an older version of Perl installed, which is why you don't see the problem there.

I'm using version v5.26.1 of Strawberry Perl. I used to have an older copy of ActiveState but I had removed it. Tom Thomas A. Moreau, BSc, PhD, MCSE, MCDBA, MCITP, MCTS Cambridge, ON Canada tom.moreau@live.ca Show quoted text
