If you make sure nmake is installed in your path (normally either in your perl\bin directory or under windows\system32), it works quite well. In fact, i used it for > 5 years now for various purposes. There is however a build-in maximum length of shell commands; but that depends on the operating system and on the command interpreter you use (the same applies to Linux, BSD, OSX and most other systems). You can read the details for Windows (up to XP) here: <http://support.microsoft.com/kb/830473> for Linux and BSD a short intro to the same problem: <http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/argument-list-too-long-error-solution/> Which package do you try to install? If i know more details, i might be able to take a peek at the problem.
