I am also using both and this morning tried to use make, to no avail. Someone else gave me the tip to try perl -V:make to see what version of make my installs use, one returns with 'make=nmake;' so I tried nmake instead... but neither make nor nmake are recognized as valid programs in dos.
I have read a whole bunch of installation instructions, from CPAN and ActiveState, and there is no way the installation of modules should be this complicated, they just tell you to unzip the archive into a directory, go there and run Makefile.PL (which works for me) and then: make make test make install But none of my attempts to get make to work have succeeded. I am getting pretty frustrated trying to get this (probably very simple) install process to work!
