0.2808_04 will not install in Strawberry Perl 5.10.0.2...

ok, I have a few weird things installed... but other modules install, so
I'm puzzled.

The installed version of Module::Build is 0.2808_01, and as I mentioned
in the title, I've installed Strawberry Perl 5.10.0.2 off their website
a few days ago. Operating system is WinXP SP3.

Anything else you need, please ask.

Here's what I'm doing, maybe it will help.

(start CPANPLUS, etcetera...)

Error installing 'Module::Build'

(OK, so I go into a command prompt into the extracted directory and do
perl -d Build.PL, trying to get to the first error...)

  DB<1> c 152
Module::Build::Base::_construct(lib/Module/Build/Base.pm:152):
152:      $p->{perl} = $self->find_perl_interpreter
153:        or $self->log_warn("Warning: Can't locate your perl
binary");

  DB<2> s
Module::Build::Base::find_perl_interpreter(lib/Module/Build/Base.pm:395):
395:        my $self = shift;

...

  DB<2> n

416:      my $perl  = $^X;

  DB<2> n

417:      my $perl_basename = File::Basename::basename($perl);

  DB<7> n

364:        return `$cmd`;

  DB<7> p $cmd
'C:\strawberry\perl\bin\perl.exe' -MConfig=myconfig -e print -e myconfig

(At this point, the first parameter needs to be double-quoted, not
single quoted, and that's when we hit this error.)

  DB<8> n
The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.

so I go back in and do this:

...

  DB<4> n
Module::Build::Base::_quote_args(lib/Module/Build/Base.pm:344):
344:          push @quoted, qq('$_');

  DB<4> p $_
C:\strawberry\perl\bin\perl.exe

  DB<5> n
Module::Build::Base::_quote_args(lib/Module/Build/Base.pm:337):
337:        if ( /^[^\s*?!\$<>;\\|'"\[\]\{\}]+$/ ) {

  DB<5> p $quoted[0]
'C:\strawberry\perl\bin\perl.exe'

  DB<6> $quoted[0] = '"C:\strawberry\perl\bin\perl.exe"'


  DB<7> p $quoted[0]
"C:\strawberry\perl\bin\perl.exe"

Line 344 is causing it, does this help? I was able to force the
installation in the debugger (of course, bunches of tests fail) but
figure you should know.
