in thread Any help on Perl h2xs would appreciate

The thing to do in dealing with long lists of errors (such as the list that confronts you) is to deal with the very first error. Often, when that first error is fixed, the rest just disappear.

The first error is: 
C:\Perl\bin\Remote-Connection\afxv_w32.h(178) : error C2371: 'HKEY' : 
+redefinition; different basic types C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual
+ Studio 8\VC\PlatformSDK\include\windef.h(246) : see declaration of '
+HKEY'

It looks to me that, at line 178 of C:\Perl\bin\Remote-Connection\afxv_w32.h, HKEY is being redefined, and your compiler is upset about that. So ... try to fix that first.

One thing I've just noticed from your first post in this thread is that you've assigned LD => '$(CC)'. I think that's rather unusual for a Microsoft compiler. Normally I'm used to seeing link assigned to LD. I don't know much about C++, and I don't think this has anything to do with the immediate problem, but it's something to bear in mind if you experience linking errors later on.

    I had put all the VC++ header files in my project folder.
    when i run the command nmake i get the foolowing error msg:
    C:\Perl\bin\Remote-Connection\afxv_w32.h(178) : error C2371: 'HKEY' :
    +redefinition; different basic types C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual
    + Studio 8\VC\PlatformSDK\include\windef.h(246) : see declaration of '+HKEY'
    . But if i dont have any Vcc++ dependent header file in my
    project folder and try to execute the same follwing error msg pops up
