A port of dmake for Windows is available from:
-L<https://search.cpan.org/dist/dmake/>
+L<https://metacpan.org/release/dmake>
Fetch and install dmake somewhere on your path.
Type "dmake" ("gmake" for GNU make, or "nmake" if you are using that make).
This should build everything. Specifically, it will create perl.exe,
-perl531.dll at the perl toplevel, and various other extension dll's
+perl533.dll at the perl toplevel, and various other extension dll's
under the lib\auto directory. If the build fails for any reason, make
sure you have done the previous steps correctly.
Norton AntiVirus interferes with the build process, particularly if
set to "AutoProtect, All Files, when Opened". Unlike large applications
the perl build process opens and modifies a lot of files. Having the
-the AntiVirus scan each and every one slows build the process significantly.

Worse, with PERLIO=stdio the build process fails with peculiar messages
as the virus checker interacts badly with miniperl.exe writing configure
files (it seems to either catch file part written and treat it as suspicious,
variable in the handler. Using signals under this port should
currently be considered unsupported.
