There's a problem with the Makefile.PLs of the current releases of 
ExtUtils::PkgConfig and ExtUtils::Depends on win32.

There is a patch and new release in the works, but until then, just 
remove the entire "postamble" section from Makefile.PL and it should 
work fine.



The actual problem is that these Makefile.PLs include the unix-only rpm 
building code unconditionally, rather than disabling it on win32.  This 
code includes a backtick invocation of the date command, which is 
interactive on win32 -- it's waiting for you to enter the date, rather 
than just spitting out the date.
