Given your stated intention, I think the simplest way to get it is just
this, without worrying about what the perl modules might do:


diff --git a/src/test/recovery/t/017_shm.pl b/src/test/recovery/t/017_shm.pl
index a29ef78855..dc0dcd3ca2 100644
--- a/src/test/recovery/t/017_shm.pl
+++ b/src/test/recovery/t/017_shm.pl
@@ -18,7 +18,7 @@ eval {
    require IPC::SysV;
    IPC::SysV->import(qw(IPC_CREAT IPC_EXCL S_IRUSR S_IWUSR));
 };
-if ($@)
+if ($@ || $windows_os)
 {
    plan skip_all => 'SysV shared memory not supported by this platform';
 }
