Ok I am very new to Perl and am trying to install HTML::Form. So I copied the module from http://search.cpan.org/~gaas/libwww-perl-5.837/ to c:\XXX\libwww-perl-5.837. I then went to the DOS prompt and did wrote the command "perl Makefile.PL", and got a 'Makefile' file in the same directory. I then ran "nmake" from the command prompt and got: 
Microsoft (R) Program Maintenance Utility Version 9.00.21022.08
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporatio. All rights reserved.

syntax Error at -e line 1, near "'755')
"
MIssing right curly or square bracket at -e line 1, at end of line
Execution of -e aborted due to compilation errors.
NMAKE: fatal error u1077: 'C:\perl\perl\bin\perl.exe' : return code '0
+xff' Stop.

I am using StrawberryPerl version 5.12.1 built for MSWIN32-x86-multi-thread. I would use CPAN to install this if I knew how, so if someone knows the command line to do this I would appreciate learning this. I read the install tutorials as well and haven't figured it out from those either. Thanks in advance for any help.
