For your information:
This is the second bug I've ran into since the April release where a
module expects scripts installed with perl to be executable from the
command prompt without an extension, which *isn't the case* on non-Unix
systems.
(I'm not blaming you for the first, just stating facts)
Perl's 'make install' itself does not copy the scripts once it creates
the .bat file from them on Windows, and this is what makes the problem
appear.
I'm also told that copying both the batch file and the script will be
removed from EU::MM as well, eventually, so working around it by forcing
the installation of Encode will not cause the problem to disappear, like
it would now... Better to solve this some other way.
I'll try and get back to you with a possible fix.
