Taking a little different tack, you may what to see what make program your perl MakeFile.pl has been set: 

C:\Users\chuckbutler>perl -V:make -V:cc -V:sh
~~Output~~
make='C:\Perl\site\bin\dmake.exe';
Set up gcc environment - 3.4.5 (mingw-vista special r3)
cc='C:/MinGW/bin/gcc.exe';
sh='cmd /x /c';

I am using ActiveState 5.10.1 on Vista 64 on this machine with dmake and MinGW.

So, if Config{make} does not match the make util that you are using, it will not work.

Good luck. -c
