Perplexing bug report on Inline::CPP

I just got a strange bug report on Inline::CPP, and don't see what the
issue is.  This is against the current version, v0.39.

Here's the report:

----------------------------

I tried to install Inline::Cpp into Strawberry perl running under
Windows  XP   (32 bit) but the build.log records FAIL:

cpanm (App::cpanminus) 1.5013 on perl 5.014002 built for
MSWin32-x86-multi-thread
Work directory is /.cpanm/work/1344884468.1676

Any ideas on what I can do to install it ??

-------------------------------

To investigate, I attempted "cpanm Inline::CPP --reinstall", and got
the following different message:

$ cpanm Inline::CPP --reinstall
--> Working on Inline::CPP
Fetching http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/D/DA/DAVIDO/Inline-CPP-0.39.tar.gz
... OK
! Bad archive: Inline-CPP-0.39.tar.gz
! Failed to unpack Inline-CPP-0.39.tar.gz: no directory
! Failed to fetch distribution Inline-CPP-0.39


Yet if I download the tarball myself (the link above works fine, for
example), and unpack it with 'tar -zxf Inline-CPP-0.39-tar.gz', it
unpacks fine into ./Inline-CPP-0.39, and from there I'm able to
perform the mantra without any problems.

Also, if I remove the module from my system and then install it via
the 'cpan' tool (instead of cpan minus), it works:

cpan Inline::CPP

...works fine.

Any thoughts?  Can anyone confirm the behavior?
