I've failed the Perl Iron Man Challenge again, but I'm still alive, just busy.
I've had a couple of articles semi-written for the past two weeks, but they still very much works-in-progress, because they're about projects that are still... very much in-progress.
So I thought I'd post an interim report in the style of the "What I'm Working On" posts that crop up every so often.
One project is getting Pod::Weaver to do what I want, as mentioned in my previous article, "To Dist::Zilla, or not to Dist::Zilla?", this has involved using Moose for the first time, Pod::Weaver for the first time, Pod::Elemental for the first time, Config::MVP for the first time, and Git for the first time.
First Impressions with Strawberry Perl

Thanks to a bug report by Adam Kennedy for Template::Benchmark, I found myself needing to do some testing on Windows this week.
Now to be clear, I've always loathed using Perl on Windows. I appreciate that some people use it, and I'm of the opinion that I should write my modules to work on it, but I'm happy to never touch it myself.
So it was with no small amount of trepidation that I downloaded Strawberry Perl for Windows.
Here are my first impressions.
