Mysterious cpanm Failures on Windows

[theory]

Reference: https://github.com/theory/semver/runs/657320188?check_suite_focus=true

No useful error output that I can see, sadly.

You can enable debug logging. Please try it if cpanm still doesn't work.

I close this issue because it looks that the recent builds succeeded.

[theory]

Still failing. Will try debugging.

Ran with debugging, downloaded, found only this:

:-(

Note that I'm using the -v option on cpanm to make it verbose, but nothing appears in the output, sadly.

[shogo82148]

it's bad news :-(

I sometimes get EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION while building the Perl Core modules.
It is fixed by disabling C compiler optimization, so I disabled the optimization in all versions as a workaround.

#232
https://github.com/shogo82148/actions-setup-perl/releases/tag/v1.3.2

could you try it, please.

[theory]

Still not happy. Seems fine with 5.14 and higher; it's 5.12 and lower that pukes.

[theory]

Any ideas, @shogo82148? Only seems to be a problem with 5.12, 5.10, and 5.8 on Windows.

[shogo82148]

I have no idea 😭
but Strawberry Perl may resolve it #235
I'll try it later.

[theory]

Oh, yeah, using the Strawberry binaries might indeed do the trick. Looking forward to trying it out!

[shogo82148]

http://strawberryperl.com/releases.html
Strawberry Perl doesn't provide 64-bit binary of Perl 5.12 or earlier 😢

[theory]

Oh, well crap!

[shogo82148]

It will be fixed by #474, #475, #477, #480, and #481

[theory]

Tried turning tests for 5.8, 5.10, and 5.12 on Windows again in /theory/semver@8bfa9f8, but alas, it failed with "Error: unable to get latest version". Are the binaries missing?
