If you're using ActivePerl, you should be using Visual C++ for your
compiler, for binary compatibility. This comes with nmake. If you've
compiled your own Perl with a different compiler, use the make program
that you used with that compiler.
As far as reliability goes, Einstein teaches us that everything is
relative ... VC++ is probably the most prevalent compiler in the
MS Win32 world, so in that context is pretty stable. But if you
want to compare the reliability of MS tools to Linux tools ...
