http://cpantesters.org/cpan/report/4bec28d4-6bf7-1014-8bfa-8166d1d52598 makes me suspect that, under Win32, an event path may be reported with a forward slash instead of a back-slash.

The test is comparing a path created via Path::Class (which uses File::Spec internally) with a path returned from ChangeNotify. The former is C:\DOCUME~1\Admin\LOCALS~1\Temp\1R8WMye9O3\_queue_not_subscribed, the latter is C:\DOCUME~1\Admin\LOCALS~1\Temp\1R8WMye9O3/_queue_not_subscribed

If I get access to a Windows machine, I'll write a minimal test case, but getting access may take some time.

Hello DAKKAR

I suspect the same thing as you.
I work on Windows Laptop and i encountered an error when i tried to
install Plack::Handler::Stomp

By controling log i finally found there is a problem with results
returned by $watcher->wait_for_events

I will try to write some patch. If you want i test some code from you on
my laptop ask to me.

regards
