The last time I tried, it can't be installed on windows with cpan either, the
module simply doesn't have the necessary windows bits - likely because
traditionally windows didn't really have ptys. I think some stuff has been
added, but it probably would still require a bunch of portability work.
Note that we normally don't even build with readline support on windows - so
there's not really much point in using IO::Pty there. While I've gotten that
to work manually not too long ago, it's still manual and not documented etc.
Afaict the failures are purely about patch 2, not 1, right?
Greetings,
Andres Freund
