Module-Install-Repository-0.06 - error installing on Windows

[szabgab]

While building the next version of DWIM Perl, I was trying to install Module-Install-Repository-0.06 on Strawberry Perl 5.14.2 on Windows but it failed.

So I went and cloned the github repository of Module-Install-Repository to see if I can figure out the problem: https://github.com/miyagawa/module-install-repository

C:\work\module-install-repository>perl Makefile.PL
include C:/work/module-install-repository/inc/Module/Install.pm
Bareword "auto_set_repository" not allowed while "strict subs" in use 
+at Makefile.PL line 4.
Execution of Makefile.PL aborted due to compilation errors.

Now I am totally confused. Isn't auto_set_repository supplied by Module-Install-Repository?

There is no problem? From  cpanp z Module::Install::Repository

On Linux it works for me too.
