I have been using correct version of dmake, that's why i cleaned up my PATH variable and tried these steps seperately with Active state Perl and Strawberry perl (one Perl in setup at once and for Active state perl, mingw was set in path else not). But with both the versions if i try to install module from cpan, it failed due to path for perl not found. So i manually did, "perl Makefile.pl" and noticed that the Makefile which is generated is not being picked by dmake. It gives error and to resolve that i put // in PERL and FULLPERL in Makefile. This fixed the problem for Perl not found but the create process error appeared.
