in reply to nmake error

Have you tried the mkdir with double backslashes? (And if that doesn't work, single forward slash might work.)

mkdir c:\\mytest

    It's not a manual command, this is a result of running nmake. All of those system specific items are supposed to get handled. In theory, you write a Makefile.PL file that should build a makefile which nmake, dmake, make, or gmake (and others) should then interpret properly to get what you wanted done.
