Perl framework for windows-prob in makefile

Hi!
I'm trying to get Perl framework installed on windows.

But the problem is in one of the makefiles...
don't know if this is the right place to ask this question, but could =
not find any info anywhere else! :(

in a makefile the char "\" means line continuation,=20
but if i have a macro in the Makefile and i want to assign a value of =
"\" how do i do it?

i tried these :

DIRSEP =3D \
DIRSEP =3D \\
DIRSEP =3D "\"
DIRSEP =3D '\'

but all these don't seem to work!

is there any way to let know that the "\"that follows is NOT for line =
continuation?

Thanks
Dhanashri

No expert but from general unix exp have you tried "\" ?

but if i have a macro in the Makefile and i want to assign a value of

i tried these :

DIRSEP =3D \
DIRSEP =3D ""
DIRSEP =3D ''

but all these don't seem to work!

I know this doesn't answer your question, but I have to ask. If you're
on Windows, then why aren't you just installing ActivePerl from
ActiveState? You're guaranteed to save yourself a lot of headache.
