See Perl-Toolchain-Gang/ExtUtils-Manifest#31

I'm hitting this as I'm trying to ensure that my code will work on Windows GitHub runners...

Here's a tiny repository showing the problem:

https://github.com/actions/runner-images/blob/win22/20240811.1/images/windows/Windows2022-Readme.md
Perl 5.32.1

Answer 1 · 2024-08-16T13:53:52.000Z

Both you and the reporter of the ExtUtils-Manifest issue aren't using Strawberry Perl.

There are unix-style paths in the log, which shows that you're using MSYS or Cygwin Perl. Likely the one that is bundled with Git for Windows.

Answer 2 · 2024-08-16T13:55:31.000Z

PS. Switching from bash to PowerShell or cmd.exe might help. I don't remember how PATH is set up on GitHub Actions runners and I don't have tuits to test it.

Answer 3 · 2024-08-16T14:04:36.000Z

PPS. I haven't tested it, but on GitHub actions marketplace there's an action that setups Perl automatically on various platforms, including Windows: https://github.com/marketplace/actions/setup-perl-environment

Answer 4 · 2024-08-16T14:30:02.000Z

Hmm, indeed, it wasn't using strawberry perl

Here's a run where it is using strawberry perl -- it appears to die a bit later?

Answer 5 · 2024-08-16T14:34:24.000Z

No, this is still not Strawberry Perl:

cpanm (App::cpanminus) 1.9019 on perl 5.038002 built for x86_64-msys-thread-multi

Also, the documentation of that action I linked says that using bash on Windows isn't supported.

Answer 6 · 2024-08-16T15:12:45.000Z

Indeed, when I force things, strawberry perl actually works: https://github.com/check-spelling-sandbox/strawberry-perl-cpanm-ExtUtils-Manifest/actions/runs/10422133505
