    Maybe you want to tell us what you have tried already and where you encounter problems? In the CB you told us far more than in this node.

      In CPAN when I fired "make" command the following error came : 
      cpan> make File::Grep
Running make for module File::Grep
Running make for M/MN/MNEYLON/File-Grep-0.02.tar.gz
  Is already unwrapped into directory C:\.cpan\build\File-Grep-0.02

  CPAN.pm: Going to build M/MN/MNEYLON/File-Grep-0.02.tar.gz

      After that I installed nmake.exe as mentioned here:

      I got the following things :- 
      
C:\apache2triad\perl\bin\File-Grep-0.02>perl Makefile.PL

        At least your directory for running nmake.exe is different. In the anonymous post above, you have C:\.cpan\build\File-Grep-0.02 as the directory where File::Grep got unpacked into, but here you run the stuff in C:\apache2triad\perl\bin\File-Grep-0.02. I'm not sure what Makefile.PL or nmake are trying to do here. You should better try what you did within the cpan shell again.
