What is startup directory?

You should find it in the zip file (http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/S/SH/SHAY/dmake-4.7-20061120-SHAY.zip). From the 'Readme.txt' that ships with that zip package:

DMAKE needs a set of startup files that are located in a subdirectory 
+called
"startup" where DMAKE.EXE lives, or in a directory specified by a DMAK
+EROOT
environment variable.  So, to install it, just copy DMAKE.EXE and the 
+startup
subdirectory to some location on your path.

I don't know if that's the problem.

Cheers,
Rob
