I installed MingW by running the MinGW-5.1.6.exe install shield

Does that install g++ ? (Running g++ -dumpversion will tell you. If it produces a 'g++' is not recognized as an internal or external command ... warning then you *don't* have it. Alternatively, see if C:/MinGW/bin/g++.exe exists.)

If you don't have the g++ package, you can grab the current gcc-g++-a.b.c-xxxxxxxx.tar.gz. The 'a.b.c' needs to be the same as reported by gcc -dumpversion
I'm not sure what 'xxxxxxxx' will be (except that it will be numerical characters), but any value should do. I tried finding a link here but, as usual, that page doesn't display properly for me. Just unpack that tar.gz file to C:\MinGW. Once the unpacking has completed check that g++.exe is in C:/MinGW/bin.

I have no idea what _Unwind_Resume is - can't find it anywhere on Google, in MinGW, or in Perl. And the __gxx_personality_ v0 symbol that you've reported is just bizarre. I've never seen a symbol with a space in it before. Maybe that should be __gxx_personality_v0 - but, even so, whilst my libstdc++ resolves __gxx_personality_sj0 there's no mention of __gxx_personality_v0. Maybe that's just different versions of gcc.

Anyway, I don't want to speculate further until I know that you've got g++ installed. If you don't already have it, after installing it run dmake distclean to clean up the previous build, followed by dmake -f makefile.mk again.

Cheers,
Rob

    Seems to belong to the gcc_s library: 

    $ objdump -T /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 | grep _Unwind_Resume
0000000000009080 g    DF .text    00000000000000ff  GCC_3.3     _Unwin
+d_Resume_or_Rethrow
0000000000008cd0 g    DF .text    00000000000000f5  GCC_3.0     _Unwin
+d_Resume

      Crikey ... that's gcc-4.x.x ! I thought the MinGW installer was still installing gcc-3.x.x. (I didn't think to check my gcc-4 installation.)

      I guess I should've checked earlier but, Morne, what does gcc -dumpversion produce ?

      Thanks for digging that up, almut ... now we just have to work out how it relates to the problem the OP is having.

      Afterthought: Morne, are there any other installations of gcc on your computer ? (I'm wondering if there's a second gcc installation that's interfering with the build process. I personally don't have any problem with either gcc-3 or gcc-4 wrt the building of perl-5.10.1 from source.)

      Cheers,

        Hi Rob

        Thanks for the help, I discovered that the install executable does not install all the correct modules for MinGW. I downloaded the modules manuall and re-installed MinGW.

        My perl installation works correctly now and I have been able to run a small perl script
