I have been trying to install a variety of modules and all have failed during
the make portion.
all modules seem to give the same error where a variable is pointed to an
incomplete type. I have recompiled perl, I have recompiled make any ideas on
what I can try. :-(

That's a fairly old version (July 2002). Is there a reason that you wish to
install that particular version ?
Source for the latest version (0.29) is available from CPAN:

http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/J/JD/JDB/libwin32-0.2 9.tar.gz

In order to help you with any test failures we really need to see a
copy'n'paste of the 'nmake' and 'nmake test' output.
(Incidentally, you don't need to run 'nmake' and 'nmake test' separately -
you can just run 'nmake test' straight after 'perl Makefile.PL'.)

Cheers,
Rob

If you're using Strawberry Perl you should use 'dmake' (which comes as part
of Strawberry Perl) instead of 'nmake'.

So, instead of running 'nmake test', run 'dmake test' (and then 'dmake
install') and see how that goes.

In general, you should use the make utility that is reported by running
'perl -V:make' (which will be 'dmake', for Strawberry Perl).

Cheers,
Rob
