Hi Texinfo Team,
I am automating the Texinfo build process in Perl via my new
Alien::Texinfo software:
https://github.com/wbraswell/alien-texinfo
This build process works successfully on most operating systems, but a
few notable exceptions exist.
Using the AppVeyor testing platform for Microsoft Windows, we see an
odd error: _C:Strawberry221perlbinperl.exe: command not found_
The full build log can be seen at the link below, and for convenience
I have pasted the context around this error:
http://www.cpantesters.org/cpan/report/63fc7253-6bf4-1014-995a-a297cb8ec62d
_rm -rf $backupdir; exit $rc /usr/bin/sh: line 7:

line 87. dmake.exe: Error code 130, while making '_alienmmbuild'_
Searching through the entire log, we can see all other references to
"perl.exe" are the correct full path of
"C:Strawberry221perlbinperl.exe", but in this particular error we can
see that somehow all the backslash characters have been stripped to
leave us with the obviously-incorrect "C:Strawberry221perlbinperl.exe"
string.
I appreciate your help!
Thanks,~ Will 'the Chill' Braswell
