Any tip ? Im actually trying to install Mail::GnuPG but GnuPG::Interface is required. thank you
system("which", "gpg");
die "gpg (GnuPG) not found" if ( $? != 0 );
is attempting to check if gpg exists in your %PATH% but since you do not have the standard *nix utility which, it fails. You can install Perl's App::pwhich and replace that line with system("pwhich", "gpg"); if you want or, if you know that gpg is in your %PATH%, delete that line from Makefile.PL entirely.
Alternatively, you can install Git for Windows which will provide both which and gpg along with perl 5.24.1.
If one were to rewrite this Makefile.PL from scratch, I would recommend using File::Which to check for all locations on your %PATH% where a gpg executable exists.
