Hi all, I did 
&lt;code&gt;
cpan&gt; install Method::Signatures
&lt;/code&gt;
It didn't work, because of a dependency not installing on Windows. That's fixed in the developer release, and that's why i want that release.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Then i did something stupid : i deleted the [mod:://Method-Signatures] directories that i had in C:/strawberry/cpan/source/ and C:/strawberry/cpan/build/ &lt;br/&gt;
(you don't need to know why i did this stupid thing, to help me fix it)
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
And now when i try
&lt;code&gt;
cpan&gt; install Method::Signatures
&lt;/code&gt;
it says : 
&lt;code&gt;
Running install for module 'Method::Signatures'
Running Build for B/BA/BAREFOOT/Method-Signatures-20120523.tar.gz
  Has already been unwrapped into directory C:\strawberry\cpan\build\Method-Signatures-20120523-iX8R5D
Could not make: Unknown error
Running Build test
  Can't test without successful make
Running Build install
  Make had returned bad status, install seems impossible
&lt;/code&gt;
=&gt; it doesn't even try to install it anymore; apparently i broke something. &lt;br&gt;
What shall i do ?
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
That is so stupid, sorry to take your time for this.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
I guess, after fixing this problem i'll have to install this module manually; or to just wait until the developer version becomes the current version.
&lt;/p&gt;</field>
