Are you surely using latest dmake.exe in cmd.exe? (sounds a bit like my
problems which I had when I used ming32-make...)

My Perl is compiled with MinGW (that was easy) and the same dmake.exe
(and C compiler) that I use for the modules. I'm not sure which make and
compiler ActiveState uses. Are you stuck with ActivePerl?
