I believe this failure comes from line 157 in Alien::Base::ModuleBuild::Repository::HTTP

return ( 0, $res->decoded_content, \%headers, $res->request->uri );

The call to $res->decoded_content calls decoded_content() in HTTP::Message line 281, which calls content_charset() at line 205, which calls require IO::HTML at line 247 which throws since IO::HTML is not installed. The exeception is caught at line 406 which causes decoded_content() to return an undef value.

I have raised an issue at MSYS2-packages if IO::HTML should be installed as a dependency when HTTP::Message comes installed with the distribution.

Looks like this was fixed in MSYS2
