Ok, this looks like the source of at least some of the problem. I've 
uploaded a new tarball to the same location:

  <http://thepierianspring.org/perl/Module-Build.tar.gz>

Could you try it again with the commands

   perl Build.PL
   Build realclean

Does it still outputs an error? Is the 'Build.bat' file still there? If 
so, I'll have to find the docs for the start command and for 
command.com. Could you post them?

   start /? > help.txt
   command /? >> help.txt

Also, the last line of Build.bat should say something like:

   start /min "%comspec%" /c del "Build.bat"

This is the command we're trying to execute. It seems to have different 
syntax on different versions of Windows.

If it does work, can you run the test suite again?

Thanks for the help.

Randy.
