[ID 20001121.005] Perl installation

     I am trying to install Perl in a NT box that I have.
     I am going through the steps outlined in README.win32. When I run 
     "dmake test" I get this error message:

     C:\unzipped\Perlstable\perl-5.6.0\win32>dmake test
     ECHO is on.
     ECHO is on.
     cd ..\ext\Socket && \
             ..\..\miniperl -I..\..\lib Makefile.PL INSTALLDIRS=perl
     Writing Makefile for Socket
     cd ..\ext\Socket && E:\Programs\dmake-4.1pl1-win32\dmake.exe -S
     gcc -c  -g -O2 -DWIN32 -fno-strict-aliasing -DPERL_MSVCRT_READFIX -g -O2
         -DVERSION=\"1.72\"  -DXS_VERSION=\"1.72\"  -I..\..\lib\CORE  Socket.c
     Socket.c: In function `boot_Socket':
     Socket.c:1224: incompatible type for argument 1 of `strcmp'
     dmake.exe:  Error code 1, while making 'Socket.o'
     dmake.exe:  Error code 255, while making '..\lib\auto\Socket\Socket.dll'
     
     
     Can you please help?
     Thanks
