Hello Charlie, I smoke rarely on Windows VMs, but I also encountered strange hangs in the smoking process. In my case it seems that Capture::Tiny was causing the hangs, probably related to https://github.com/cpan-testers/CPAN-Reporter/issues/28 To workaround this problem, I wrote a script which uses some heuristics to detect such hanging processes, and kills it. It can be found at: https://github.com/eserte/srezic-misc/blob/master/scripts/capture-tiny-watcher.pl Maybe the reason for your hangs are the same, but I wouldn't be surprised if there are also other problems on Windows systems.
