David,
 I don't know if it's due to Windows Vista itself or Strawberry Perl
 5.10.0 not working right on Windows Vista but wperl.t fails at line
 44.

 C:\Users\mmusgrove\Desktop\IO-CaptureOutput-1.06>dmake test
 C:\strawberry\perl\bin\perl.exe "-MExtUtils::Command::MM" "-e"
 "test_harness(0, 'blib\lib', 'blib\arch')" t/*.t
 t/capture...........ok
 t/capture_exec......ok
 t/noconsole.........ok
 t/wperl.............1/4
 #   Failed test ''wperl-exec.pl' capture correct'
 #   at t/wperl.t line 44.
 #     Structures begin differing at:
 #          $got->[1] = Does not exist
 #     $expected->[1] = 'STDERR
 #     '
 # Looks like you failed 1 test of 4.
 t/wperl............. Dubious, test returned 1 (wstat 256, 0x100)
  Failed 1/4 subtests

I see the same problem on Windows Vista with ActivePerl 5.8.8 build 822.
A simple
    wperl.exe -e "print 'something'"
also does not return anything.

This also fails on the Windows 7 Beta.

From dagolden@cpan.org on 2009-01-20 23:36:35:

Version 1.1001 released, marking these wperl.exe tests as "TODO" on
Windows Vista.

The issue appears to be whether or not wperl.exe (which has no STDOUT or
STDERR) can open STDOUT and STDERR and have them inherited by a child
process.  It works on XP but does not on Vista.
