You need to download the following 4 files: http://ppm4.activestate.com/MSWin32-x86/5.10/1006/-/--/MINGW/dmake-4.11.20080107.ppd http://ppm4.activestate.com/MSWin32-x86/5.10/1006/-/--/MINGW/dmake-4.11.20080107.tar.gz http://ppm4.activestate.com/MSWin32-x86/5.10/1006/-/--/MINGW/MinGW-5.1.4.1.ppd http://ppm4.activestate.com/MSWin32-x86/5.10/1006/-/--/MINGW/MinGW-5.1.4.1.tar.gz Put all of them into a single directory on the target computer and install them (dmake fist, followed by MinGW): ppm install dmake-4.11.20080107.ppd ppm install MinGW-5.1.4.1.ppd Don't worry about the download URL above; these PPM packages will install correctly into any ActivePerl 5.8.8 build 818 and later and all 5.10 versions. As usual, latest released ActivePerl versions recommended. Make sure you have C:\Perl\site\bin in your PATH in addition to the regular C:\Perl\bin (the installer should have done this for you automatically). You need to use "dmake", not "make" or "nmake" with MinGW. That should be it. Let us know if you run into any problems.
