Thanks for our suggestion. I have now got the 32 bit version of activestate perl and have set the paths for dmake and MinGW. However I am encountering the below error messae while installing perl packages.

C:\Perl\bin\perl.exe Makefile.PL INSTALLDIRS=site -- OK Running make for M/MD/MDOOTSON/Win32-Exe-0.17.tar.gz The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.

I am trying to resolve this for a long time but no luck. Any suggestions to fix this ??
