A couple of things.
1) Perl is case-sensitive, so 'Extutils' is different from 'ExtUtils'
2) the 'scope-of' operator is '::' (two colons, not one)
I'm guessing you have something like 'use Extutils:Makemaker' at the top
of your script. This will cause Perl to look for a file
'Extutils:Makemaker.pm' in @INC
Try changing the use line to 'use ExtUtils::MakeMaker'. So long as
there exists a file 'ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm' in your @INC (it appears in
C:\Perl\lib on my system) you should be OK.
HTH,
