Bug #82970 for Test-WWW-Simple: tests fail and hang on Windows

Same behavior with Strawberry Perl 5.12.3. t/12trim.t ........ ok Unknown agent alias "Farnesworth" at C:\strawberry\cpan\build\WWW-Mechanize-Pluggable-1.12-x9PT4J/blib/lib/WWW/Mechanize/Pluggable.pm line 381. t/13ua.t .......... ok t/14cache.t ....... skipped: Piped open not available # Waiting for test webserver to spin up # starting Mojolicious server # Shutting down test webserver # stopping Mojolicious server

I also encounter hanging tests with the recent Test-WWW-Simple versions.

I've added an explicit invocation of the current Perl with -Iblib/lib to the runs of the example program tests. I think this will fix this problem for you.

0.39 now explicitly invokes the builder Perl with -Iblib/lib. This should fix the errors, I think. Please let me know if there are still problems on Windows.
