I have tried it using Strawberry perl (includes dmake) and with Active state perl with no luck. Actually on my system i am having MKSNT kit installed. So i removed it from my path variable and tried following setup: 1. kept only Strawberry perl in my PATH, So it included dmake in it. Now when i build Makefile, issue is PERL and FULLPERL are having perl path with single "\". So it gave error on building it using dmake. So i modified makefile to modify its path to have "\\". Now when i tried to run dmake, it appeared to be in hanging state. Can some please point me on how to fix this backslash issue. 
sub init_DIRFILESEP {
    my($self) = shift;

    # The ^ makes sure its not interpreted as an escape in nmake
    $self->{DIRFILESEP} = $self->is_make_type('nmake') ? '^\\' :
                          $self->is_make_type('dmake') ? '\\\\'
                                                       : '\\';
}
