Re^2: installing win32 in perl 5.8.4

I tried installing through prompt. The makefile.pl runs fine. But, the test.pl fails all the 7 scripts. I am not sure what is happening, but it seems as if my system got all messed up when I installed the activestate perl 5.8.4 (I had activestate 5.8.0 earlier). What do you guys suggest?

Thanks.

Don't mix Cygwin and ActiveState Perl. ActiveState Perl expects `nmake.exe` by Microsoft, and not the Cygwin make tools. If you installed the Cygwin build of Perl, then make sure that the Cygwin Perl finds the Cygwin `make`. The Microsoft `nmake.exe` and the Cygwin `make.exe` are not compatible, and each Perl build creates a Makefile specificially tailored to the expected version of the make tool.	[reply]

Make sure make's directory is before nmake's in your path. rdfield	[reply]
