Hi Stephen, in your other mail you reported that MSYS DTK has been detected as installed correctly. What is the output of "which perl" and what is "echo $PATH", when run in the MSYS shell? Is there some other perl installation in the PATH first?
Also, check config.log in C:\soft\temp\autoconf-2.60, it may contain additional data about what is "wrong" with your perl setup.
