FWIW, a manual invocation of the pg_basebackup tests works via a ucrt perl (ucrt64/mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-perl package). It did require installing IPC::Run via cpan though, or at least I think it did. That's a bit annoying. But not all that onerous if we document it? I did make sure that the ucrt perl deals with windows paths. For good measure I forced an early return in perl2host. I think we would have to modify the values for a few environment variables. Stuff like PG_REGRESS, TAR etc. Either where we specify them, or Utils.pm or such. Greetings, Andres Freund
