If like me you've been bitten by:

C:\>dmake
dmake.exe:  Error: -- `C:\Perl\libConfig.pm' not found, and can't be m
+ade
[download]

Certainly follow the excellent advice at Re^2: how to install perlmodules in windowsXP but pay particular attention to the aside about renaming nmake.exe In my case I not only had it installed in c:\perl\bin, but for some reason in c:\program files\mozilla— don't know why just did. Repeat your usage of "perl -V:make" until it shows dmake. Don't forget to run makefile again so that this time the correct information will be set.

The question in the title is— what does "dmake.exe: Warning: -- Target [blibdirs] was made but the time stamp has not been updated." mean? I typically get some number (variable) of these. Since they are warnings, I ignore them, but the compulsive in me wants to know what I'm ignoring on the off chance that it is somehow significant...

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
