Hello Robert, In this email: https://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.cpan.testers.discuss/2018/08/msg4344.html
I posted some steps ( also pasted below ) I took when setting up my windows virtual machines for smoking cpan. Make sure you set up full control permissions on c:\tmp and c:\Strawberry directories. In step 4 you will execute " o conf init test_report" which is the command that sets up your metabase_profile and other configurations for submitting your cpan reports. 1- Download and install the version of Strawberry Perl you want to test ( http://strawberryperl.com/releases.html - I used the recommended Perl versions in msi edition ) 2- create a C:\tmp directory 3- Set permissions to Full control on C:\tmp and C:\Strawberry 4- execute 'cpan' command on a command prompt or powershell terminal ( your preference ) cpan> install Task::CPAN::Reporter cpan> install CPAN::Reporter::Smoker cpan> reload cpan cpan> o conf init test_report 5- open powershell and start the smoker: perl -MCPAN::Reporter::Smoker -e start Hope this helps.
