Re: Unable to use Module::Starter::AddModule under windows

'.' is not recognized as an internal or external command

Corion has correctly identified the source of the problem, though I don't think it has anything to do with the path separator. Rather, it's a command beginning with "." that the the Windows Cmd.exe shell can't handle.

I expect (untested) that it should be fine if you replace:

system( './Build', 'manifest' );

with

system($^X, './Build', 'manifest' );

or with just

system($^X 'Build', 'manifest' );

Best,I think, to also open an issue about this.

Cheers,

Just a minor correction to your good and portable solution:

cmd.exe can handle commands starting with ".", but dot as the current directory needs to be followed by a backslash and the filename to run:

.\cpanm

The above launches cpanm.cmd (if it exists) from the current directory.

but dot as the current directory needs to be followed by a backslash

Yes, you're right - I should have double checked.
Thanks for correcting my incorrection.

Thanks for the 'fix', it works perfectly. Reporting an 'issue' will be a new experience for me. I'll give it a try tomorrow.

UPDATE: Issue submitted.
