I encountered the testing failures trying to install: IPC-Run-0.92.
I'm on Windows 7 x64 -- but running 32bit Perl that I compiled myself with VS 2008. The output from "perl -V" is at the end of the e-mail.
My 'uname -a' output is: windows32 L-65186-P12 2.6.1 7601 i686-pc Intel unknown MinGW.
(it's the gnu utility, also a 32bit process, so probably couldn't figure out the OS is x64)
Essentially the bug happens when a dbl-quote character, ["], is used within an argument to the 'cmd.exe' interpreter. I was able to fix this by turning those dbl-quotes into the [qq()] quoting mechanism.
For example, binmode.t line 43 changes from:
my $emitter_script = q{ binmode STDOUT; print "Hello World\r\n" };
into:
my $emitter_script = q{ binmode STDOUT; print qq*Hello World\r\n* };
I've attached a patch file that allows all tests to pass on Win32 when the interpreter is the often useless 'cmd.exe'.
