Re: Strawberry Perl 5.12.3, CPAN, make file problems (dmake.exe), DFSEP and backslash "\"

I use strawberry 5.12.3 at work on Win XP and Win 7 64. Is there anything odd about your setup? What command shell are you using? Do you have cygwin in your path or anything else? Strawberry does have a relocate script, I don't know if it will help but you could try it. For me, I have gnuwin32 tools in my path on my Win XP, but on my Win 7 box It has all kinds of corporate things on it including Cygwin and Activestate perl in the path.

My Windows version is "Windows 7 Enterprise" with "Service Pack 1" and a System type of "32-bit Operating System". For my shell, I run `C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe`. I just checked the shortcut now. I ran `set` and manually combed thru the vars for anything related to my shell type. This is all I saw: `SESSIONNAME=Console TERM=dumb` [download] I'm pretty sure I've steered clear of cygwin. Here is every env var with the word "path" in it. Hmmm, it looks like I have a few repeating values in there. Should be harmless, but I'll clean up my `%PATH%` later.

From what I recall, I didn't do anything special during the installation. I'm pretty sure I downloaded the typical .msi file. Even tho I can't recall, I'm fairly certain if I had installation choices, I would simply choose the defaults.
