Tests fail on Windows 11: Failed test 'lstat' ... Error resolving realpath

[hakonhagland]

I am trying to install this module on Windows 11 with a custom perl (see Perl/perl5#20395 for more information on how I installed this perl). See also miyagawa/cpanminus#652.

/??/C:/Users/hakon/AppData/Local/Temp/GmRhPY46Ey/foo.txt is not a valid path on Windows. As I have no way to replicate your build, there's nothing I can do. Since Path::Tiny works correctly on "normal" Windows Perls, I'm closing this ticket. If you ever find the problem and have a PR, I'll consider it.

@xdg It looks like this is an issue with readlink, see Perl/perl5#20460 for more information.
