Try using 'dmake' to install App::Ack.  IIRC it's already included
with Strawberry.


Exactly, there is 'dmake' for installation like

C:\any_pkg_root_dir> perl Makefile.PL
...
C:\any_pkg_root_dir> dmake test
...
C:\any_pkg_root_dir> dmake install

On top of that there is also GNU make bundled with strawberry perl as 
'gmake' (it is intended for special purposes)
