Re: Help installing perl on a win98 machine

OK, I'm ignorant on newsgroups too.

I don't know if I need to post my eMail address, so here's the address and the message again. Sorry.

I'm trying to get Perl 5.6.0 built on my win98 computer. I've figured out that I need dMake. It appears I don't need to do anything to dMake once I get it. I commented/uncommented the appropriate lines in /perl-5.6.0/win32/makefile.mk file. When I run dMake I get a bazillion errors and no Perl.exe.

I would consider myself quite competent on the computer and with programming languages, and am familiar with the concept make files, but I feel completely lost here.

If you can help, please eMail me. If you can teach me to build perl I'll send you a check for $50 (USD). My only qualifications: 1) Unless you can write amazingly helpful eMail messages, I'd like to talk by phone. (I call / you call, it doesn't matter to me). 2) I want to know how to build perl, as quick as it would be to just send me a zip file with the compiled version in there, I want to understand this.

Thanks in advanced, and I hope to hear from somebody soon!
