the tests fail due to manual building of a string to pass to the shell,
for example when the .cpan directory is located in
  C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\Max\.cpan
(as is the default under Windows 2000).
I asked about this bug in late 2001, and I was simply told that
lots of Perl breaks with spaces in the path. So I just had
to remember this "feature". Thanks for finding a fix, now
windows users of Inline can rejoice ;-)
I already fixed CPAN.pm (locally), but I still need to fix 
ExtUtils::MakeMaker and Inline::C (or rather, my fixes for these seem to 
conflict with each other).

I have to admit that I chickened out yesterday and built Inline in a 
plain directory and installed it from there, as I didn't want to waste 
more than 4 hours on it, but I'm quite sure I'll revisit the problem :-)

I propose that the RT bug remains opened (maybe lowered in the 
importance) so that other people see the problem :-)

Have fun,
