I've been using nmake though

Nmake and dmake have slightly different syntax rules - and, with Strawberry perl, MakeMaker writes a Makefile that conforms to *dmake* syntax, not nmake syntax. It does this because $Config{make} is set to dmake. (You're expected to use the make that $Config{make} specifies.)

If you want to use nmake with Strawberry Perl, you need to set $Config{make} to nmake. This could be done by by replacing the one occurrence of 'dmake' in lib/Config_heavy.pl with 'nmake'. So long as you have a recent version of nmake (not that crappy old 1.50), that should work ok - but I don't see that it achieves anything useful.

There's nothing wrong with your ExtUtils::MakeMaker or ExtUtils::Install. They're doing precisely what they're supposed to do :-)

Cheers,
Rob
