in thread So much for Test::* :)

maybe the shell is expected to expand the * wildcards?

Well yes. But isn't one of the primary reasons for Perl's existance, Mr.Wall's frustration with clunky shell syntax?

And isn't the reason for having EU::MM et al. to take care of these kinds of platform differences?

I should have been less terse. I was hoping for a clue as to how to go about fixing up the makefile.pl to get beyond the problem?

If it helps, I've bypassed it for now by c&ping the command line issued and prefixing it:

c:\Perl\packages\Test-Simple-0.84> C:\Perl\bin\perl.exe -e"BEGIN{@ARGV=map{glob}@ARGV}" ###### I added this ####### "-MExtUtils::Command::MM" "-e" "test_harness(0, 'blib\lib', 'blib\arch')" t/*.t t/*/*.t t/00test_harness_check..........ok t/bad_plan......................ok t/bail_out......................ok ... t/Tester/tbt_07args.............ok t/thread_taint..................ok t/threads.......................ok t/todo..........................ok t/undef.........................ok t/use_ok........................ok t/useing........................ok t/utf8..........................skipped all skipped: Not yet implemented All tests successful, 4 tests and 13 subtests skipped. Files=79, Tests=594, 7 wallclock secs ( 0.00 cusr + 0.00 csys = 0.0 +0 CPU)

which works okay, but I'd prefer a more permanent solution.
