Well, maybe it's easier just to tell it to use MINGW

If it's a 32-bit build of perl, then that's not a bad idea. But if you're running a 64-bit build of perl, then using MinGW64 with it is going to be very difficult.

Telling us that you have "Windows 64-bit" is not, by itself, all that helpful. We also need to know whether it's a 64-bit or 32-bit build of perl.

Updating ExtUtils::MakeMaker might also fix your problem - I'm not sure, but the manifest issue (or at least some part of it) has received attention in ExtUtils-MakeMaker-6.50 .

Cheers,
Rob
