Maybe kmx? Kinda baffling to make that commit

I think that dmake is no longer being maintained, and that in itself may have been his main concern - or maybe he had also struck specific cases where dmake wasn't up to the task.
He's certainly savvy enough to know that issues such as presented in this thread could well be lurking.

It has been possible to build perl on Windows using gmake since 5.23.x and I've been doing that since then. In the early stages there were some issues - most of which were ironed out by patches to EU::MM. But there's always the threat of the issues you don't know about.

Cheers,
Rob
