Wise ones. I humbly seek the truth. I am getting a fatal error U1077 when I try to install the libwin32-0.16 module on a win32 system. It happens when I try to use nmake. I searched the holy books and postings and narrowed it to a C compiling issue. I downloaded the Microsoft’s fix, the nmake v 1.5. Installed, rebooted… you know the ritual. What I see is the “’cl’ is not recognized as an internal or external command”. When I attempt nmake. I have tried installing by suppressing errors, just to get though, and I got through… of course it does not work. PPM is no good, I am behind a firewall. When I dial in from home and use PPM I was told that it could not confirm many of my Perl parts when I ran verify, and could not find the module I was looking for. I only found one posing here along that topic, but its resolution did not fit my needs. Any wisdom appreciated.
