LWP Install Fails under WinXP SP2 running ActivePerl Build 810 Matthew Johnson 11-22-2004

I did a search in the FAQ and in the mailing list under the obvious keywords,
and still came up with nothing, so now I ask here.

Following the instructions in in libwww-perl5.801README, I
successfully installed all the prerequisite modules: except that the
README says I need "Digest-MD5", and PPM could find only
"Digest-MD5-Mp4" (which I installed). But this is the small
discrepancy. I am more concerned that after successfully running 'perl
Makefile.PL' (answering 'y' to everything), I get an error message on
'make', namely:

D:Dloadslibwww-perl-5.801.tarlibwww-perl-5.801>make
make.exe: *** No rule to make target `D:Perllib^', needed by
`Makefile'. Stop.

Why is it trying to make D:Perllib? That directory already exists
and is full of many other packages.

And what version of 'make' is it assuming? I didn't see that get installed. I am
running all these commands in the command window, as appears normal for
ActivePerl (the version of Perl I am trying to get this working under). I am not
running under CygWin (although I have that installed too).
