Hi All 

I am getting below error while installing IO::Interface::simple module in my windows machine where in I have installed ActivePerl 5.24.

Please suggest any solution.

Created MYMETA.yml and MYMETA.json

Hi Satish,

If you just want to work around this, just create an empty file C:\MinGW\x86_64-w64-mingw32\include\sys/ioctl.h  and it will probably work. 

ioctl.h is a dumping ground for random stuff and it sort-of makes sense it would be absent on windows.  If that doesn't work, then you'll have to hunt down a working version.
