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++)
Copyright (c) 1990,...,1997 by WTI Corp.

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,
Rob

      I wonder if ExtUtils::MakeMaker is the culprit. I'm using version 6.31 - might be worth your while checking that you also have 6.31, and updating if you have an older version. (I think I might have upgraded EU::MM at some stage.)

      In the meantime I'll doublecheck that it does work with version 4.7 of dmake (and update this post as soon as I find out for sure).

      Cheers,
      Rob
      Update: Yep - definitely building fine for me on AS build 817 using dmake-4.7.

        Hi Rob,
        iam using strawberry-perl with dmake and mingw.
        still iam unable install the Win32::GUI(like Win32::GUI::AxWindow can only be built using MSVC, not 'gcc') 
        

C:\Win32-GUI-1.04>perl Makefile.PL
Argument "6.30_01" isn't numeric in subroutine entry at Makefile.PL li
+ne 9.


BUILDENV=mingw  Used build environment is: MSWin32 and MinGW


NOTE: Makefile.PL will add the instruction to use the Resource Compile
+r to
your Makefile; if you don't want to compile resources with your extens
+ion,
call this script with this additional argument:

    perl Makefile.PL USERESOURCE=0

Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good

Win32::GUI::AxWindow can only be built using MSVC, not 'gcc',
as it depends on the Microsoft Active Template Library (ATL).
Win32::GUI::AxWindow will be skipped during the current build process.

At this time Win32::GUI::DIBitmap cannot be build using gcc.

Writing Makefile for Win32::GUI::DropFiles

Win32::GUI::Grid can only be built using MSVC, not 'gcc',
as it requires the MFC framework.
