Re^2: Building Win32::GuiTest for perl 5.14 or higher

This means the makefile was written for nmake and not dmake, so it won't work with dmake

I don't think so. The error I get when I run 'dmake' with a makefile written for 'nmake' is significantly different:

C:\sisyphusion\Win32-GuiTest-1.59>dmake
dmake:  Error: -- `C:\_32\ap1600\libConfig.pm' not found, and can't be
+ made
