AnyEvent (make test) fails on MS Windows

[Fulko Hew]

I'm attempting to port and test my app on MS Windows (Windows Server 2008?)
and I've downloaded and built Strawberry Perl v5.14.2) but
when I attempt the 'make test' (for AnyEvent7.04) it fails many tests with:

Broken perl detected, skipping tests.

OR

Your perl interpreter is badly Broken. Child watchers
will not work, ever.  Try upgrading to a newer perl or
a working perl (cygwin's perl is known to work). ...

Some parts of AnyEvent seem to work, but the attached
'file watcher' app doesn't.

Suggestions?

TIA
