Re: Windows Script Host support

2012-03-24 Thread Olivier Mengué
Hi, The IPC::Cmd 0.72 that is bundled in Strawberry 5.14.2.1-32bits has a major bug: it doesn't even compile. See RT#75033: https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=75033 This blocks the clean install of major modules such as CPAN::Reporter. The user can of course upgrade the IPC::Cmd (if ever h
