…rib#116) Strawberry Perl has no native Windows arm64 build (StrawberryPerl/Perl-Dist-Strawberry#218), so building for a windows/arm64 target platform fails toolchain resolution entirely: ERROR: ... No matching toolchains found for types: @@rules_perl+//perl:toolchain_type Add a windows/arm64 entry to PLATFORMS that reuses the existing windows/x86_64 Strawberry Perl archive but declares itself compatible with windows/arm64. Windows on Arm ships with built-in x86_64 emulation, and Perl is a plain interpreter with no CPU-specific codegen, so the x86_64 binary runs fine under that emulation layer. This is a stopgap: drop the entry (or point it at a native archive) once Strawberry Perl ships an arm64 build.

Strawberry Perl has no native Windows arm64 build
(StrawberryPerl/Perl-Dist-Strawberry#218), so building for a windows/arm64 target platform fails toolchain resolution entirely:
Add a windows/arm64 entry to PLATFORMS that reuses the existing windows/x86_64 Strawberry Perl archive but declares itself compatible with windows/arm64. Windows on Arm ships with built-in x86_64 emulation, and Perl is a plain interpreter with no CPU-specific codegen, so the x86_64 binary runs fine under that emulation layer. This is a stopgap: drop the entry (or point it at a native archive) once Strawberry Perl ships an arm64 build.
Wire the new platform through the same places the other platforms are registered (MODULE.bazel's use_repo/register_toolchains lists and the root BUILD.bazel toolchain aliases), add a regression test mirroring the existing perl-less-platform toolchain resolution test, and note the stopgap in the README's Windows Support section.
