Re: using dmake instead of nmake on Windows

It uses perl -V:make by default, but if you install MinGW it ought to try to run dmake

ppm install MinGW dmake
cpan  Net::POP3
[download]

To force the issue you'd run

perl Makefile.PL make=dmake
[download]

You can configure cpan/cpanp ... see PERL_MM_OPT, PERL_MB_OPT

perl Makefile.PL make=dmake followed by make install did the trick. Thanks!	[reply]
