Rolf, no offense meant, but you seem to want this to be difficult; it's really not.

For example, did you notice the name of that module: it starts with "Win32"? The solution I showed functions perfectly in Strawberry Perl on Windows, out of the box.

Strawberry gives you the gcc build environment, with dmake (older strawberries) or gmake (newer strawberries) with perl -V:make showing the make variant to use. No extra work on your part. No bash emulation needed.

Using a perl module to build a makefile is part of the standard ExtUtils::MakeMaker environment.

Data::IEEE754::Tools Makefile.PL shows similar syntax, with the same syntax working on both Windows and Linux environments.

Using the Makefile.PL -> Makefile to add extra targets, to automate extra things for development, is an intended use of the ExtUtils::MakeMaker environment. If you don't like it, that's your perogative; you don't have to use it. But it is a system that works, even on Windows with Strawberry Perl.

Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
