I have resolved this issue by installing perl from "https://strawberryperl.com/";. In addition to installing the strawberry's perl, I had to adjust the environment variable PATH values. That is, I had to give higher priority to strawberry's perl bin paths. (Please note that I haven't removed activestate's perl, or mingw's perl. So whenever, I will need to build pg16 or lower, I have to readjust activestate's perl bin path in the environment variable.) > > I've not seen that before. Please provide a bit more detail.
