The command.com shell that WIn95/98 uses is not compatible with the make
files generated by perl. It does not support certain commands like 'cd path
&& some_command'.
I have had success in building Perl on Win98 using 4DOS from 'Rex Conn & JP
Software Inc' along with DevStudio.

Yes, it does. Win32-GUI uses some header files and libraries that are only
available with VC++ 6.0. V5.0 will not work.
Building modules on Win95 does not work too well for the reasons I have
listed before.
You don't need to Build Perl of Win32-GUI compiled versions of both are
available. Check the archives of this newsgroup on how to install
Win32-GUI.

The Perl source which is available from CPAN
