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

I am trying to use modules from CPAN but I am having problems getting make to work.

I am using ActivePerl v5.8.0 MSWIN-32 on Win2000. The path to my make util is:

E:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\bin\nmake.exe

I guess the problem is with the spaces in the path. I have tried placing it in quotes but that does not help. I suppose one solution would be to move the file to a path spec without spaces but I'd like to make it work as is if that's possible.

Any suggestions?
