A port of dmake for win32 platforms is available from:

The GCC-2.95.2 bundle comes with Mingw32 libraries and headers.

-When building using Visual C++, a perl95.exe will also get built. This
-executable is only needed on Windows95, and should be used instead of
-perl.exe, and then only if you want sockets to work properly on Windows95.
-This is necessitated by a bug in the Microsoft C Runtime that cannot be
-worked around in the "normal" perl.exe. perl95.exe gets built with its
-own private copy of the C Runtime that is not accessible to extensions
-(which see the DLL version of the CRT). Be aware, therefore, that this
-perl95.exe will have esoteric problems with extensions like perl/Tk that
-themselves use the C Runtime heavily, or want to free() pointers

-You can avoid the perl95.exe problems completely if you either enable
-USE_PERLCRT with Visual C++, or use Borland C++ for building perl. In
-those cases, perl95.exe is not needed and will not be built.

Note that MakeMaker actually emits makefiles with different syntax
depending on what 'make' it thinks you are using. Therefore, it is
important that one of the following values appears in Config.pm:

C<TerminateProcess(process,signal)>. Thus the signal argument is
