ViergeHi,

I try to install Perl 5.8.5 on my Win XP Pro SP2 with thoses items:

--> Perl 5.8.5 ( put in C:\perl\ )

I got it on this site: http://www.perl.com/download.csp

It was this version

"
Stable Production Release
The current version of Perl is 5.8.5. This is a stable, tested release that you should use in production environments.

      DOWNLOAD Stable Release from CPAN/src
      Get source for Unix and Windows systems stable.tar.gz archive

Features new to this release include generation of C code and support for lightweight processes. This version is a stable, production release that compiles out of the box for virtually all flavors of Unix (its native environment), plus VMS, OS/2, and 32-bit Microsoft platforms as well.

--> dmake-4.1pl1-win32 ( I put dmake.exe and the folder "startup" in C:\perl\perl-5.8.5\win32\ )
--> MinGW-3.1.0-1 ( put in C:\MinGW\ )

my "path" environment is:
%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;C:\Program Files\Fichiers communs\Roxio Shared\DLLShared;C:\MinGW\MinGW\bin

At the end of the test phase ( C:\Perl\perl-5.8.5\win32>dmake test ), I got this:

dmake.exe: Error code 255, while making 'test'
Do anyone know what is the problem? Could I, despite this trouble, go further without wrong consequences?

Thank you very much!
