Consider supporting msys2 perl #2612

Open hurricup opened 1 year ago

hurricup commented 1 year ago

strawberry perl looks abandoned since 5.32.1 (2 years already). There is some activity, but unclear where to. Process seems really complicated. Probably worth investigating how ruby does this.

msys2 has up-to date perl version, it works under mingw64. See this Basically following run works:

set MSYSTEM=UCRT64
bash -lc 'perl -V'

Version managers

Probably worth to investigate possiblity to install perlbrew/plenv to msys2. Perls Configure does not see C library with gcc installed. Worth digging, but seems msys does a lot of patching: https://github.com/msys2/MINGW-packages/tree/master/mingw-w64-perl

We need to check if it works without bash wrapping with just MSYSTEM set.
