That was with a cygwin  bash shell. From a command.com shell, perl Build.PL
has teh same messages. Build realclean outputs:

C:\cpanplus\5.8.2\build\Module-Build>Build realclean
Deleting _build

So it looks like it's OK on Win98.

Build test hangs at the same point with the command.com shell as
in my last message.

In the bash one, it hangs in t/install.t. Here is the tail of output:

The messages are NLS ones.

I can't see anything like that in Build.bat.
It's just wrapping Build apparently, at the start:

@rem = '--*-Perl-*--
@echo off
if "%OS%" == "Windows_NT" goto WinNT
perl -x -S "%0" %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9
goto endofperl
:WinNT
perl -x -S %0 %*
if NOT "%COMSPEC%" == "%SystemRoot%\system32\cmd.exe" goto endofperl
if %errorlevel% == 9009 echo You do not have Perl in your PATH.
if errorlevel 1 goto script_failed_so_exit_with_non_zero_val 2>nul
goto endofperl
@rem ';
#!perl
#line 15

use strict;

and at the end:

# This should have just enough arguments to be able to bootstrap the rest.
my $build = ModuleBuildBuilder->resume (
  properties => {
    config_dir => '_build',
    orig_dir => $orig_dir,
  },
);

$build->dispatch;

__END__
:endofperl


Nonetheless, Build  realcean is deleting it.

I can see the NT sytax in Build.bat, but not the Win98.
