Unless you have perl.exe in your src/devtools/bin folder, I suspect this could be a problem. Heck, even if you did I expect it would still be bad. See my other email regarding setting up your environmental variables. As for getting a better understanding of how the general thing works, I've added Shader_authoring/Compile Pipeline page to the tutorial describing the shader compile pipeline as best as I understand it.
