hello,

i'm using strawberry-perl 5.8.8-alpha-2's version of cpan to install modules. the pure Perl modules install just fine (eg. HTML::Template), but the ones which contain XS parts fail: 

#-------------- DBI --------------#
dlltool --def DBI.def --output-exp dll.exp
dlltool: _spawnvp
dmake.EXE:  Error code 129, while making 'blib\arch\auto\DBI\DBI.dll'
  C:\strawberry-perl\dmake\bin\dmake.EXE  -- NOT OK

#-------------- Template::Toolkit --------------#
C:\strawberry-perl\perl\bin\perl.exe -MExtUtils::Mksymlists \
     -e "Mksymlists('NAME'=>\"Template::Stash::XS\", 'DLBASE' => 'XS',
+ 'DL_FUNCS' => {  }, 'FUNCLIST' => [], 'IMPORTS' =
> {  }, 'DL_VARS' => []);"
dlltool --def XS.def --output-exp dll.exp
dlltool: _spawnvp
dmake:  Error code 129, while making '..\blib\arch\auto\Template\Stash
+\XS\XS.dll'
dmake.EXE:  Error code 255, while making 'subdirs'
  C:\strawberry-perl\dmake\bin\dmake.EXE  -- NOT OK

i've tried installing DBI, Template::Toolkit , Date::Calc but they all failed with error code 129 from dmake after trying to link the dynamic libraries (DLLs) with dlltool.

i also have Active Perl 5.8.8.819 (MSWin32-x86-267479) installed and the mentioned XS modules as PPM, so i know they must compile on Windows... somehow. i'm using Windows XP SP2.

this might not be the best place to post about my problem (i know about the RT bug queue for strawberry-perl), but i think i'm missing something obvious here and it might not be a bug in strawberry-perl. i'll surely appreciate any help or suggestion. thank you for your time.
