I have tried the latter and it then complains about not being able to
locate the Config.pm file. This is probably a self answering question,
but i'd like to know if this is how it should be from the authors mouth.

I've tried the 'perl -MCPAN -e "install ExtUtils::MakeMaker"' install
again this morning on a fresh installation of ActiveState Perl
5.6.1.638. With nmake 1.5 on WinXP Pro SP2.
Below is the output I get from the install. It seems to be proceeding
quite smoothly until the 'nmake install' where it suffers a fatal error:
"fatal error U1077". Now I have seen this error before, and it was due
to a command exceeding the command line length limit in windows.
However, I can't remember if this error is specific to that fault or
not, but it might provide you with somewhere to start.
You might try installing 'ExtUtils::Install', then 'Bundle::CPAN' (from
the CPAN.pm shell), followed by restarting the CPAN.pm shell. See if
that helps clear up some of the noise.
The version of ExtUtils::Install on CPAN can install files that are
otherwise locked by the operating system, producing the "cannot unlink"
errors. Not sure about the redifinition warnings, but Bundle::CPAN may
clear those up.
