There is this problem which i am facing when i run perl makefile.pl it gives an error saying C:\Perl\lib\CORE\perl.h(382) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'sys/types.h': No such file or directory Which is correct as there is no types.h file in sys folder so i require to know the place wheer i can get the necessary header files. I have activeperl version 5.8.7 fpr win2000 use and downloaded it from activestate.

Which compiler are you using?

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

Lingua non convalesco, consenesco et abolesco. -- Rule 1 has a caveat! -- Who broke the cabal?

"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".

The "good enough" maybe good enough for the now, and perfection maybe unobtainable, but that should not preclude us from striving for perfection, when time, circumstance or desire allow.

This error usually happens when the environment for the compiler is not set up correctly. Usually for me, this means running the vcvars32.cmd batch file to set up the INCLUDE and LIBS paths for the MSVC compiler. The invocations for the other C compilers may differ. You need to have MSVC installed though for this to work at all.

I agree with everyone else that we need more and better info about your problem.
