Good Day
Im new to perl and I would like to add the Template-Toolkit module in Windows. I followed the instruction above.

C:\> perl Makefile.PL
C:\> nmake
C:\> nmake test
C:\> nmake install
[download]

I have downloaded the nMake program from this website and executed it. I placed the the extracted Template-Toolkit module and nMake under the C:\WINNT directory.   The first command "perl Makefile.PL" was successful When I executed nMake an error occured particularly

cl -c -nologo -Gf -W3 -MD -Zi -DNDEBUG -01 -DWIN32 -D_CONSOLE -DNO_STRICT -DHAVE_DES_FCRYPT -DNO_HASH_SEED -DPERL_IMPLICIT_CONTEXT -DPERL_IMPLICIT_SYS -DUSE_PERLIO -DPERL_MSVCRT_READFIX -MD -Zi -DNDEBUG -01 -DVERSION=\"2.09\ -DXS_VERSION=\"2.09\" "-IC:\Perl\lib\CORE" Stash.c
'cl' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'C:\WINNT\system32\cmd.exe' : return code '0x1' Stop
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'C:\WINNT\system32\cmd.exe' : return code '0x2' Stop

Has anybody encountered this problem?   How can this be fixed?
Thanks
Chester

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• 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).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
