adding some handlers for installing Strawberry Perl on Windows escaping backslashes is important missing 'do' keywords changing :create_if_missing to :create; apparently that's been deprecated... adding owner, group, and mode. They're in Unix-talk, but hopefully it'll get chef to stop complaining removing a single. damn. period. confirmed that perl gets installed in Windows, but ignored the install location parameter. adding the proper flag to install to the specified directory, and prepending the new dir to the PATH adding PATH statement to the install block closing quotes fixing the path again. Use the right directory delimiter. using setx instead of set. May be problems due to required/escaped quotes backslashes for Windows paths... Moving the path modifier to a separate action, and trying the windows_path primitive fixing paths and going back to my prepend method I was missing a 'do' updating metadata and readme after completing install of Strawberry Perl on Windows.
Hoping this doesn't ruin my day
Using the Windows TEMP envvar for file storage (if it exists), and added recursive directory creation.

Installs Strawberry Perl on Windows boxen and adds to the system's PATH env-var. (It prepends PATH so that it comes before perl.exe included in the Windows Chef installer.
I have reached out to the Strawberry Perl team to ask for a persistent link for $LATEST-minversion-$BITNESS, or at least $LATEST-$BITNESS, but I've gotten no response yet.
