From michiel.beijen@gmail.com

Created by michiel.beijen@gmail.com

This is a bug report for perl from michiel.beijen@​gmail.com,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.39 running under perl 5.18.2.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
The product Bash on Ubuntu on Windows provides a way to run Linux
software on a Windows kernel without virtualization. See​:

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/commandline/wsl/about

It uses Ubuntu 14.04 with a modified kernel.

Its filesystem does not handle link counts correctly, and perl is
not able to detect that itself.
This means that File​::Find will not be able to traverse directories
properly and you'll not be able to install perl modules on the system
perl.

A workaround for that is
sed -ri 's/dont_use_nlink => .*?,$/dont_use_nlink => 1,/'
/usr/lib/perl/5.18.2/Config.pm

Also, you'll not be able to install a new perl on this system
without enabling the configuration option 'dont_use_nlink'.

ref​:
http​://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.perl5.porters/2016/09/msg239937.html

Ideally, perl's configure script should be able to detect if it can
use nlink or not automatically.

Can anyone familiar with ./Configure let us know whether this request is feasible?

Thank you very much.

Thank you very much.

Microsoft already fixed this issue on their end (though I'm not sure it has
landed in their stable release), so this issue can be closed. Configure
would be the wrong place anyway because this is a runtime issue, not a
compile-time issue.
