in reply to install Module-Build

The error you are seeing from t/metadata.t may relate to Module::Metadata. I am running Strawberry Perl 5.12.3.0 on Windows. After a fresh install of Strawberry Perl, Module::Build installs successfully but after installing Module::Metadata from CPAN, I get the same errors as you on test t/metadata.t

Strawberry Perl 5.12.3.0 provides Module::Metadata version 1.000004 and CPAN provides version 1.000011.
