You might be able to override with `perl Makefile.PL make=make` [download] but its better to use the program your perl is configured to use `$ perl -V:make make='dmake';` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

I'm not sure of failure point but I think "libConfig.pm" should be lib\Config.pm Yes, it should - and if that error doesn't go away when you switch to using dmake instead of make, let us know (as it's something that will have to be fixed). Cheers, Rob	[reply]

I second using dmake as the make utility with ActiveState/Windows. If it is not installed in your Perl distribution already, the PPM for it should be on the ActiveState site. Good luck. -c	[reply]

ActivePerl is built using MS's compiler and `nmake`. These are actually better choices. MinGW + `dmake` can be used too. Both combos are freely available. Recent versions of `cpan` and/or Perl's module building toolchain will use MS's compiler and `nmake` if found, and fall back to installing and using MinGW and `dmake` if not.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
