Windows 10, Strawberry Perl 5.26.1
Several of the subtests in 01_Archive-Extract.t fail. These appear to be the same failures as reported by one of the automated cpan-testers for Perl 5.26.3 (although 5.26.1 passed for whoever ran that one):

Stopping: 'install' failed for 'Archive::Extract'.
In the CPAN test, it appears that there may be an extra \n at the end of some 'z' values, while in my installation's tests, it might be a \r (x0D)? I haven't delved into the depths of the code, so I can't tell you if you should be routinely stripping whitespace, or if this indicates a genuine problem with one version of Perl on one OS. Anyway, I hope that gives you a clue where to look.
If you need me to test a debug installation image and report results back to you, please don't hesitate to contact me offline.
