I downloaded the perl module, Date::Calc from cpan.org. The tarball is Date-Calc-5.3.tar.gz. I am using Cygwin on my PC (It has Windows 2000). Cygwin also has the gcc C compiler with it.

As per the Install notes, I did 'perl Makefile.PL".

I got this result.
$ perl Makefile.PL
Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good

Writing Makefile for Date::Calc
Writing patchlevel.h for c:\Perl\bin\perl.exe (5.006001)

Next, I did "make" and I got:

$ make
Makefile:814: *** missing separator.  Stop.

Has anyone come across this problem? Shall appreciate help on this.
