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.

    Hi Rob,
    That is not problem .Bcoz that startup Directory is already there in dmake folder.
    perldevkit is from Active state.
    if i install Strawberry Perl .Will Active state perldevkit work?.

      Will Active state perldevkit work?

      I don't know. If it doesn't work with Strawberry Perl, you could still use Strawberry Perl to build Tk-804.027_500 for use with ActivePerl. Assuming that your ActivePerl is in C:\Perl, you would just run: 
      C:\strawberry-perl\perl\bin\perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=C:/Perl/site
C:\strawberry-perl\dmake\bin\dmake test
C:\strawberry-perl\dmake\bin\dmake install

      That should build and install Tk-804.027_500 into ActivePerl - from where you can use it with PDK.

      However, I'm still a little puzzled as to why you're getting that build failure with ActivePerl. Which version of 'dmake' are you using ? I get: 
      C:\_32>dmake -V
dmake - Version 4.7-20061120-SHAY (Windows / MS Visual C++)

Default Configuration:
 MAXLINELENGTH := 32766
 MAXPROCESSLIMIT := 4
 MAXPROCESS := 1
 .IMPORT .IGNORE: DMAKEROOT
 .MAKEFILES : makefile.mk makefile
 .SOURCE    : .NULL
 DMAKEROOT *= $(ABSMAKECMD:d)startup
 MAKESTARTUP := $(DMAKEROOT)\startup.mk

      I've also used versions 4.4 and 4.5 without any problems.

      Cheers,
