I ran dmake -V. This is the print out:

I have the same version of dmake - there's certainly no problem with it when it comes to building perl.

So ... we start to question how you are going about building perl. If you extract perl-5.10.1.tar.gz to some location (let's assume it's C:/my_build) and then 'cd' to C:/my_build/perl-5.10.1/win32, you should be able to run dmake -f makefile.mk and have that succeed. (That's without first making any amendments to makefile.mk or any other file - which means that the perl that's built might not be configured as you would want. But dmake -f makefile.mk should run to completion without producing any errors.)

What happens when you try that ?

Cheers,
Rob
