Damn, never thought I would see the day. Thanks for this, now I have another excuse for putting off building my server/nas. |
Turns out perl uses ANSI win32 calls and that ensures mayhem, patch it using mt.exe so that it runs in utf-8 mode on 1903 and newer. 1809 needs to run with the global utf-8 setting enabled.

This involved mostly changing process management code and not using any code that uses forks.
A minion replacement worker has been added that does exactly the same but without forking for each task.
Some dependencies have been moved to the perl install script, as they do not compile on Windows and I don't know if you can add conditions on the cpanfile.
The following perl modules needed to be patched for them to compile or behave correctly:
This has been tested on MSYS2 UCRT64 environment and a script that does all of this is included
and the script for generating an end-user installable version will be added later.A new workflow job has been added that generates a zip with everything needed to run it.
EDIT: I don't know how to make it load conditionally 🙃 help
