Sorry to bring this up again. Just in the way of documentation, executing pp
the way I did still results in an error later on. If somebody gets the
following error the first time they run their executable (and not subsequent
times), it is because they used the -M option incorrectly (the way I did):
mkdir C:\Users\...\AppData\Local\Temp\par-xyz\cache-abc/inc/lib/C:/: Invalid
argument; The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect at
C:/strawberry/perl/vendor/lib/Archive/Zip/Archive.pm line 192.
This is purely due to user error, but a fail-fast mechanism might be useful.
Otherwise, this will at least be a web search result.
