      Silly me, for assuming that since you the details you posted included the message "Warning: prerequisite Inline 0.44 not found." and no mention of an attempt to install the module that this was a worth while suggestion. We are not mind readers, consider reading How do I post a question effectively?.

      Strawberry Perl uses dmake, not nmake. When planning on installing modules please read and understand the documentation, including the README file, which in this case mentions the ppm installation route also.

        Yep, sorry for this mistake, I installed Inline through ppm, but this didn't effect on installing Inline::Java:

        ====================
        My mistake, it helped - got some troubles with path variable, so it took the wrong dmake.....

        Inline::Java installed, thanks to ALL! =)

      Hi, To solve the below error:

      "syntax error at -e line 1, next char ) Missing right curly or square bracket at -e line 1, at end of line Execution of -e aborted due to compilation errors. NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'C:\strawberry\perl\bin\perl.exe' : return +code '0xff"

      Nmake to be executed successfully, needs an another supporting file cl.exe which is found in the bin or lib folder of the Visual C++ installation, please set the path of bin path or lib path in the environment variables. Make sure that Nmake.exe and cl.exe is at the same folder and this path has to set in the environment variable PATH.
