Install Fails on Windows 10 via "cpan LaTeXML" #2355
Description
Issue
The installation of LaTeXML fails when attempting to install it via the cpan LaTeXML instruction. Specifically it fails during the make test phase of installation. This is performed with a fresh intsall of Strawberry Perl.
Details
The log files indicates that the issue is with the structure.t and complex.t tests. Examining those specific entries, we find:
t/50_structure.t .......... 26/44 # Failed test 't/structure/figure_grids'

Comparing the test results to the expected values, it is clear that the build is either producing slashes in the wrong direction or the expected direction of the slashes is incorrect. I suspect that this is likely an issue with Windows and Linux using different slash directions to denote paths.
