I am building a Perl extension using a makefile generated by typing: 

perl makefile.pl

[download]
I execute the makefile by typing: 

omake -EN

[download]
The output I receive is: 

Makefile out-of-date with respect to Makefile.PL C:\Perl\lib\Config.pm
+ C:\Perl\lib\CORE\config.h
Cleaning current config before rebuilding Makefile...
omake -f Makefile.old clean > NUL || rem
C:\Perl\bin\perl.exe Makefile.PL
Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good
Note (probably harmless): No library found for -lVEILibDLL
Writing Makefile for EME_XSUB
==> Your Makefile has been rebuilt. <==
==> Please rerun the make command.  <==
false
'false' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

omake: Shell line exit status 1. Stop.
omake: makefile (line 781): Removing Makefile (warning).

This comes from the following section in the makefile: 

# We take a very conservative approach here, but it's worth it.
# We move Makefile to Makefile.old here to avoid gnu make looping.
$(FIRST_MAKEFILE) : Makefile.PL $(CONFIGDEP)
    $(NOECHO) $(ECHO) "Makefile out-of-date with respect to $?"
    $(NOECHO) $(ECHO) "Cleaning current config before rebuilding Makef
+ile..."
    $(NOECHO) $(RM_F) $(MAKEFILE_OLD)
    $(NOECHO) $(MV)   $(FIRST_MAKEFILE) $(MAKEFILE_OLD)
    -$(MAKE) -f $(MAKEFILE_OLD) clean $(DEV_NULL) || $(NOOP)
    $(PERLRUN) Makefile.PL 
    $(NOECHO) $(ECHO) "==> Your Makefile has been rebuilt. <=="
    $(NOECHO) $(ECHO) "==> Please rerun the make command.  <=="
    false

This is very frustrating as the date/time on the dependencies is not later than on the target. What is going on? Can someone please help me? Thanks in advance!!
