problem installing pgsql_perl5 1.8.1 - Mailing list pgsql-interfaces

I've tried to build pgsql_perl5 1.8.1 on my machine, but got some problem when I do 'make'.

Looks like the generated Makefile has a syntax error. I don't know if this is because my machine is WinNT with Cygwin (more detailed machine settings at the end of this mail) or some other reasons. Has anyone successfully installed the package in NT machine ?

Please help. Thanx.
