I have had success reports (and/or small tweaks) from a number of people. I've
never tried it myself.

I'd be pretty sure Nmake isn't a compiler. Maybe you could be more specific?

You didn't say what you thought it should say. Whats wrong with this command?
Why is it a problem for you?

One thing you should be aware of (because you are using the pre-compiled
active state perl.exe) is that the Makefile generated from Makefile.PL will
attempt to use the same C compiler and compile options as were used to
compile the original perl binary. If you have a different compiler, or need
some different options, you'll have to provide them when you run Makefile.PL.

 perl Makefile.PL CC=cc

might do what you want, if, say, your compiler is called 'cc' instead of 'cl'.
Adjust as necessary. Also, I don't know what chances you take when mixing
compilers on your platform.
