You need a "make" program to build the sources. If you are using
Visual C++ or the Windows SDK tools, you can use nmake supplied with Visual C++
-or Windows SDK. You may also use, for Visual C++ or Windows SDK, dmake instead
-of nmake. dmake is open source software, but is not included with Visual C++ or
-Windows SDK. Builds using gcc need dmake or gmake. nmake is not supported for
-gcc builds. gmake only supports gcc builds, not any other compiler.
-Parallel building is only supported with dmake and gmake, not nmake. When using
-dmake it is recommended to use dmake 4.13 or newer for parallel building.
-Older dmakes, in parallel mode, have very high CPU usage and pound the
-disk/filing system with duplicate I/O calls in an aggressive polling loop.

A port of dmake for Windows is available from:
Type "dmake" (or "nmake" if you are using that make).
This should build everything. Specifically, it will create perl.exe,
-perl523.dll at the perl toplevel, and various other extension dll's
+perl525.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.
