Subject: BUILD_REQUIRES
Win32::Pipe and Win32::Process only appear to be used for testing, and should therefore be moved to BUILD_REQUIRES from PREREQ_PM. Better yet, if they can be made into recommended dependencies, and the test which rely on them skipped if they are not available. http://blogs.perl.org/users/neilb/2017/04/specifying-the-type-of-your-cpan-dependencies.html Cheers!

TEST_REQUIRES, not BUILD_REQUIRES, please -- build requirements are always installed, whereas test requirements are skipped via (e.g.) cpanm --no-test, and when examining prereq lists in carton.
