Fwd: [rt.cpan.org #82306] Not building for Perl 5.16 on Windows

[Lyle]

I submitted a bug to rjbs about one of his modules not building on
Windows. He's kicked back that it's actually a Module::Build error.
Looking at the build log, it appears he's correct:
http://ppm4.activestate.com/MSWin32-x86/5.16/1600/R/RJ/RJBS/CGI-Application-Server-0.062.d/log-20120819T121907.txt
Then I would presume that this is affecting a lot of modules?

This bug is a failure of Module::Build to compile.

It is related to CGI::Application::Server only in that its Build.PL loads Module::Build.

The error is «Can't locate version/vpp.pm», that suggests something is
wrong with your version.pm installation. 5.16 ships with a recent
version of version, so it shouldn't need the pure perl version in the
first place. Does «perl -Mversion -E 'say version->new(1)'» work?

This really sounds like something is wrong with your local setup, but
it could be a number of things.

That report is from ActiveState's automatic build system.
