I am working on windows2000 and have installed active perl from active state.I have to interface my c code with perl. So i use h2xs and run the makefile.pl which creates a makefile. The next step is to nmake it At this step i get an error saying: C:\Perl\lib\CORE\perl.h(382) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'sys/types.h': but this file i checked is not present in the sys folder. can anyone tell me the reason for this kind of error and if types.h file is reqd then where can i download it from. These are the basic steps required for interfacing a C/C++ code through perl and b'coz of this error i am not able to proceed further. Any help or advice would be appreciated.
