Ronunism has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I am attempting to install perl modules on a Win2k box. I have cygwin installed, along with Perl 5.6.0, and I've added nmake.exe. When trying to install using cpan, I get the following error:
'link' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe' : return code '0x1'
Stop.
  D:\Perl\5.6.0\bin\MSWin32-x86\nmake.exe  -- NOT OK
Running make install
  Oops, make had returned bad status

When trying to install just using make, I get a ' *** missing separator. Stop. ' error.

Any ideas?
