You will see this a lot. I hesitate to say "get used to it", but it's the truth for the most part; most Perl module authors build on *NIX and don't really have a Windows machine laying around to test with. In my experience, most modules that fail tests on Windows will still work in practice, it will be up to your test suite to make the final determination. I'm thinking that the module authors with tests that fail on $^O = MSWin32 would accept your patches were you to write them. You can view the test results from cpan-testers [1] and ActiveState [2] and see that the above module doesn't build on Windows without errors. Thanks, Brian [1] http://www.cpantesters.org/distro/T/Test-WWW-Mechanize-Catalyst.html [2] http://ppm4.activestate.com/idx/TES.html (notice Windows icon with a red background; module didn't build using the automated tools)
