in thread "dmake: Error code 12" with Crypt::Blowfish and Crypt::DES installation

I installed the ExtUtils::MakeMaker to version 6.32 but the problem was not fix.
Then I checked the Path environment variable in XP.
There was either C:\Perl\site\bin; and either C:\strawberry-perl\perl\bin...
The problem was there ;-).
Now I installed only Vanilla and it's working very well. But in the future I would to resolve this problem with ActiveSate (I like that package). I'll try again on other PC. Thank you for your assistance!

    Were you able to determine exactly what the problem was ?
    It's not of monumental importance, but it puzzles me nonetheless. I have both ActivePerl and Strawberry Perl on the same box, and I cannot reproduce the problem you reported. Even when both ActivePerl and Strawberry Perl are in the 'path' (which is something I don't usually allow), there's still no problem for me.

    Strawberry Perl typically sets INCLUDE and LIB environment variables. I also couldn't find any problem with that - though, afaict, there's no point in setting those environment variables. (I don't know why Strawberry Perl does that.)

    It would be interesting to see what running 'set' produced when the failure was occurring. (Perhaps it's now too late :-)

    Cheers,
