Here is output: 
C:\Users>perl -e "print $^X"

But I tried without cpan shell using source. and I am able to write Makefile but dmake.exe gives same error.
C:\Perl64\cpan\build\Perl-Tidy-20121207-joTgGx>dmake
C:Perl64perlbinperl.exe: not found
dmake:  Error code 255, while making 'blib\lib\Perl\.exists'

    Are you sure that MKS does not come with its own version of Perl?

    This really feels to me as if the MKS-supplied Perl uses libraries/files like Config.pm for the Strawberry Perl. I would take extra care that no trace of the MKS tools can be found while running a different Perl than the one supplied by MKS.

      Yes, MKS Toolkit comes with own version of perl. But latest MKS 9.4 ships very old version of Perl (v5.8) .
      I haven't installed MKS Perl by customized installation.

    Why not use mksperl?

[reply]
      I want to use Latest Perl v5.16 and with mksperl I have to use supplied Perl version only.

        I would ask mks for a new version of mksperl -- they solved it once with mksperl, so they know whats involved in solving it for 5.16 :)
