I believe this is all fixed on the tip (after 2.17.7 was released).

Those are all conditional on $^O !~ /Win32/i now, as well as telling you to
use ppm instead of CPAN to get the modules (with mappings to the PPM
package names).  That's what the bug was about that started this thread,
which has since been checked in since we decided we'd fix it later if
someone didn't like the PPM repo that was listed. :)

Right now it's also forking on the perl version and suggesting openinteract
if you have Perl 5.6.x or less and apache if you have 5.8.0 or newer
