Hi respected PerlMonks. I hope you can help me with this problem.

I have installed Strawberry Perl for Windows, "DWIM Perl" from: http://dwimperl.com/. I would like to use Carp. So I have downloaded Carp-1.25 from CPAN, un-TAR-ed it, and ran nmake. I get:

Microsoft (R) Program Maintenance Utility Version 10.00.30319.01
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation.  All rights reserved.

to undefined at F:/Dwimperl/perl/lib/ExtUtils/Install.pm line 1208
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'F:\Dwimperl\perl\bin\perl.exe' : return co
+de '0x2'
Stop.
[download]

Note that it's not a Windows nmake problem, I get a similar error when running make in cygwin.

My system: MS Windows 7.

(By the way, I have been running ActiveState Perl fine, and there, PPM downloads and installs Carp with no problem. The reason I've switched to Strawberry/DWIM Perl, is that I'd like to run a debugger, and Padre's latest version on ActiveState is 0.86, which is buggy. So I've installed DWIM Perl since I'd like to use Padre 0.92).

Note: cross-posted on StackOverflow

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.


go ahead... be a heretic
