Windows: Perl:XS

I am getting the following error when I am trying to compile using
NMAKE utility.
____________________________________________________________ ____________
E:\Sankaran\Work\TP-TAImpacts-LM051049\TestCode2\MyTest>nmak e

Microsoft (R) Program Maintenance Utility Version 6.00.9782.0

mkdir blib

D:\Perl\lib/ExtUtils/Command.pm li

NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'D:\Perl\bin\Perl.exe' : return code '0xff'
Stop.

Any idea how to resolve this ?

That's a very strange directory to be making.

'nmake' doesn't normally concern itself with the contents of a '.pm' file.

No .... not really :-)

Have you checked that your compilation process works properly ? Verify that
everything is working properly by grabbing a module from cpan that needs
compiling (eg Math::FFT) and building it.
