Hi,

By far the most common cause of the "missing separator" error is
leading spaces on makefile command lines.  All shell command lines
must begin with a TAB character.  The only exception I know of is
on continuation lines where the preceding line ends with  '\'. Spaces
may follow the initial TAB and multiple tabs may be used, as far as
I know.

The error message should have given some indication of the line
number where the problem occured.  Check on that line and the
following line for a leading space instead of a TAB.

Sorry. I don't know much about ActiveState.  I haven't used it since I
discovered that it didn't have a proper exec or fork.  The Cygwin Perl5
port is good.

Regards,
Doug Wyatt
