Yes, you should.  At least the latest releases of ActivePerl go to some
effort to make sure that the generated Makefile is in dmake format when
you are compiling with GCC.

It would be better to figure out why dmake is not working in your setup.
Maybe instead of running `dmake installdeps` you should install everything
via the CPAN shell instead.

Note that even core Perl requires you to use dmake.exe if you want to
create a Windows build with GCC.  The nmake Makefile only supports
Visual Studio compilers.
