Colleagues,
Since Active State stopped to distribute perl 5.22, we decided to upgrade installer builds to most use recent version available (5.26.1.2601 now).
But upstream perl changes policy around this version and no longer adds current directory to the module search path.
This doesn't break work of build.pl, which allready handles module search path itself, but breaks install.pl, mkvcbuild.pl and vcregress.pl, which expect to be started from src/tools/msvc.
Simple adding
use lib ".";
to the beginning of these script solves problem.
BTW, have anyone experienced some success using Strawberry perl instead of Active perl both for building postgres and as PL/Perl engine?
We observed the same issue with Strawberry Perl 5.26. We use 5.24 to execute the build.pl.
Active State seems to abandon support for 32-bit windows and strawberry perl license allows redistribution. --
