I find debugging with AppVeyor quite tedious --- it requires a fake git
commit for every thing to try and waiting until the AppVeyor system
picks up the change and runs it.
For more direct debugging one can use free testing VirtualBox images
from Microsoft:
https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/tools/vms/
After installing the VM one probably should install chocolatey to have a
package installer, and using choco it's possible to install
StrawberryPerl, git and other stuff.
