hi Scott,
while running CPAN smoke-test on Strawberry Perl 5.12.3 I encountered
test failures in Getopt-Complete-0.25.
I have not looked deep but I noticed some issues in t\03-demoapp-completion.t
1) the separator in $ENV{PATH} is not : on Windows. Better load the
Config module
and use the $Config{path_sep} variable.
2) When running external perl scripts it is *always* better to run $^X
path/to/script to make sure
you are running it with the same perl as you used for running the
test. Otherwise there might
be another perl in he PATH earlier. (That's true for Linux as well).
In this case running perl scripts with `script_name` is not
supported in Windows at all.
I think if you wrote something like this:
qx{$^X path_to_script param param}
that might get your tests pass on Windows as well.
Included the test output:
