What makes you think it "fails to pass"? Works fine for me.

Makefile: 

all:
    echo NODEBUG=$(NODEBUG)
    echo ADDED_CFLAGS=$(ADDED_CFLAGS)

655027.pl: 

my $cmd = q|nmake /s NODEBUG=1 "ADDED_CFLAGS=/DCOST_EN_US /DPAYMENT_CR
+EDIT_CARD"|;
open(my $fr_nmake, '-|', "$cmd 2>&1") or die;
print <$fr_nmake>;
close($fr_nmake);

Output:

On a non-Windows system, you'd do: 

my @cmd = ('nmake', '/s', 'NODEBUG=1', 'ADDED_CFLAGS=/DCOST_EN_US /DPA
+YMENT_CREDIT_CARD');
my $cmd = join ' ', map quotemeta, @cmd;
open(my $fr_nmake, '-|', "$cmd 2>&1") or die;
print <$fr_nmake>;
close($fr_nmake);
