Yes. It is a known issue. :-(
I have a number of win32- related branches, showing different strategies to
make it work under Win32. See github.
Basically:
- master and win32 hang some tests
- win32-ipc-run works, but is slow
- win32-socketpair hangs some tests
I just realized the BUGS section didn't mention that it didn't yet work
under Win32.
I'll probably temporarily merge win32-ipc-run, so that it "works". But
for modules like Git::Repository (for which System::Command was actually
written), the speed cost of using IPC::Run is too high, so I'm looking
for a way (involving some Win32:: modules) to make things work at a
decent speed under Win32. Help is very welcome.
