Porting to Windows

[pshangov]

I am attempting to get zoidberg to run under Windows. The biggest hurdle seems to be job control, which is not supported under Windows. It seems to me the easiest solution to this is to create an alternative Zoidberg::Contractor that has the same interface but does not actually do any job control, and have Zoidberg.pm choose which one to inherit from depending on the OS. What do you think?

I wholeheartedly agree! I have myself tried to do this, but its so far outside my realm of knowledge that I don't get very far. I am only the new maintainer and didn't write any part of Zoidberg::Contractor so much of it appears to be black magic to me. Any help would be appreciated!

On a side note this isn't really considered stable as is?

Have you tried Cygwin? I am also interested in this very much.

The following packages appear to be needed

./setup-x86_64.exe -nq -P perl-Term-ReadLine-Gnu,perl,perl-Module-Build

then run the following

perl Build.PL
./Build installdeps
./Build install
