in reply to Build problems with Archive::Zip?

That's not how the makefile is used. You should be executing the make (or dmake) utility. The make utility is what reads/uses the makefile.

Instead of manually downloading, unpacking, and building, have you tried using the cpan (or cpanm) tool to install the module?

cpan install Archive::Zip

    Do you know the different between makefile and makefile.pl?

      Yes I do know the difference.

      I do most of my coding on *nix systems and made 2 mistakes here. 1) My mindset was in the *nix world where makefile and makefile.pl and Makefile.PL are 3 distinctly different files, which is not the case in the MS world. 2) I focused in on that 1 part and didn't read the full post.

      I retract the first part of my first post but will still recommend using cpan/cpanm for the module installs instead of doing it manually.

        For reference, the manual install fails, a cpan install works on Windows. I uninstalled my manual build then cpan Archive::Zip, worked without error.

        Why? What difference do you think it would have made for cpan or cpanm to have run the same commands I do, and failed in the same way?
