Apologies for not being more clear in the ticket yesterday. I was putting out fires at work and a little unfocused. I am not a Windows user either which may be part of my problem ;-) I have deleted ActiveState from my system so I cannot post output. I was using CPAN.pm. Here is what I was using:
perl -MCPAN -e shell install Mojo About 2/3s into the install the shell would begin throwing errors about gcc not being found. I could execute gcc from the command line without fully qualifying the location since it was in my user path. Once I installed Strawberry Perl the install completed flawlessly (and very quickly). Not to knock ActiveState but Strawberry is open source and it includes gcc and make. I recommend adding a short blurb to the FAQ that the Strawberry distro works well and all that is required for install is this command: $ cpan Mojolicious or if installing a subset $ cpan Mojo::DOM I have not tried subprocesses on Windows nor do I intend to do so. That is clearly in the realm of Linux.
