The value of the Config.pm entry 'make' controls how Makefile.PL
generates the Makefile, and must match the actual make you are
using.
ActiveState sets this to 'nmake', which I don't have. To get it
working, here's what I've done:
1. Install dmake from
http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/GSAR/dmake-4.1pl1-win32.zip
2. Change c:\perl\lib\Config.pm (or wherever it is) and find
the line make='nmake' and change it to make='dmake'
3. Rerun perl Makefile.PL and then make using dmake.
HTH.
