Subject: Install problem on Win32 if Win32::DriveInfo is not installed
Build.PL lists Win32::DriveInfo correctly as a build-required module if the OS is MSWin32. But Build.PL first tries to load Sys::Filesystem::Mswin32 to see if the platform is supported by Sys::Filesystem. This errors out, so module installation fails. Only if Win32::DriveInfo is installed beforehand the installation works OK. I'm not sure what an elegant solution would be. Below output of Build.PL on Windows if Win32::DriveInfo is not installed: Couldn't require Sys::Filesystem::Mswin32 : Can't locate Win32/DriveInfo.pm in @INC (@INC contains: C:/work/Sys-Filesystem/lib C:/St rawberryPerl/perl/site/lib C:/StrawberryPerl/perl/vendor/lib C:/StrawberryPerl/perl/lib .) at C:/work/Sys-Filesystem/lib/Sys/Filesys tem/Mswin32.pm line 29. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at C:/work/Sys-Filesystem/lib/Sys/Filesystem/Mswin32.pm line 29.

Are you able to try the recent version from github? I tried a patch and would love to get some details whether it helps you or not.

Okay, I refined that and expect that it's solved. Please reopen if not.
