Investigation

Did a build manually, and it seems that 04_capture.t when executing the Line 25: my $output = capture($output_exe);

..., seems to read from stdin without echo, instead of executing the command $output_exe and reading its output. On my system during the test, the value of $output_exe is: C:\strawberry\perl\bin\perl.exe output.pl

I went deeper and found that in sub _win32_capture: $command contains: C:\strawberry\perl\bin\perl.exe output.pl @args is empty!

So, later when the exe file is parsed out into $exe the output.pl part is lost and, because @args is empty, instead of the intended call to the output.pl script: C:\strawberry\perl\bin\perl.exe output.pl ..., we get: C:\strawberry\perl\bin\perl.exe ..., which just sits there when executed and waits for you to type in a perl script interactively.
