in thread enc2xs not found! at Makefile.PL

When I saw: 
Failed to opendir 'D:\STRAWB~1\perl\lib\CORE' to find header files: No
+ such file or directory at D:/Strawberry/perl/lib/ExtUtils/MM_Any.pm 
+line 3049.

I should have asked you if the directory D:\STRAWB~1\perl\lib\CORE (also known as D:\strawberry\perl\lib\CORE) exists.

I assumed it existed because it ought to exist, but maybe it has been removed.
Does that directory exist ?
If it does exist, then why does the opendir() call fail ?

Line 3049 of MM_Any.pm is: 
opendir my $dh, $header_dir or die "Failed to opendir '$header_dir' to
+ find header files: $!";

[download]
Yet on my Strawberry Perl 5.30.0, it all works fine: 
C:\>perl -le "opendir my $dh, 'C:\strawberry\perl\lib\CORE' or die $!;
+"

C:\>perl -le "opendir my $dh, 'C:\strawb~1\perl\lib\CORE' or die $!;"

C:\>perl -le "opendir my $dh, 'C:\STRAWB~1\perl\lib\CORE' or die $!;"

    Thanks, Perl was OK after I have reinstalled my Strawberry from scratch... However - the workaround still fails, now in a later stage.

      I don't know how that error arises.
      Encode-3.01 builds and tests fine for me on both 32-bit and 64-bit Strawberry Perl 5.30.0.
      Also, you should already have Encode-3.01 installed (in perl\vendor\lib), and there is no point installing something you already have: 
      C:\>perl -MEncode -le "print $Encode::VERSION;"
3.01

        Correct - looks installed. However, back to my original issue when trying to install Parse::AFP :
