But this introduces its own horrible complications.

Many of Adamk's modules ship with Module::Install in the inc directory,
and see perversely and deliberately designed to not install under Windows.

See:

Back when I logged this bug report, I had managed to construct a
work-around. More recently, I tried repeatedly to apply this patch to
other modules (e.g. *::Tiny), but can no longer get my patch to work, even
after patching all versions on Module::Install on my machine (i.e. already
installed and shipped within *::Tiny). So I've taken the pledge, never to
use Module::Install or any *::Tiny module until this issue is resolved.

Reference: For Module::Install V 0.64, the real problem is a line 58. Of
the 2 values being compared, one is UTC, one not. Hence the patch invoking
Win32::UTCFileTime.
