dmake: Error: -- Configuration file `C:\Perl\site\bin\startup\startup.mk' not f ound

Looks like someone has put a copy of dmake.exe into C:\Perl\site\bin. I would delete it from there and also delete the startup folder you placed in Perl\site\bin. Having removed them, add C:\vanilla-perl\dmake\bin to your path environment variable, and all should be fine.

There's no reason you can't have dmake and the startup folder in C:\Perl\site\bin - except for the ugliness factor (as you noted). And you already have a perfectly functional dmake set up in vanilla perl - so better to simply use it (by amending the path) instead of creating an unnecessary duplicate of dmake and its startup folder.

Cheers,
Rob
Update: Come to think of it, C:\vanilla-perl\dmake\bin is probably already in the path - in which case simply deleting the copy of dmake.exe that was in C:\Perl\site\bin would have been sufficient.
