Can someone please tell me how to download dmake with Perl?
I have tried with CPAN, but this is what I get:

Not answering the question because it's a XY problem, but giving you the info you need.
The most recent mod_perl2 compiled for Strawberry is against Perl 5.12, which is long out of support. Using any other version of Perl is not going to work. You should ask ApTest to update and recompile for a current Strawberry and release a new setup_spmp helper. They are relying on a dead piece of tech (mod_perl2), so they should either support the required dependency properly or move their application onto a modern stack.

It was working fine before and I have installed couple of modules, don't know what happens suddenly.
Please help me to resolve this. Do I need to make any modifications in config?
You're telling Perl to into ~/perl5. That's not a Windows path, and ExtUtils::MakeMaker is using a unix-specific function (getpwuid) to expand it. Your problem should go away if you use a Windows path.
That said, if you have access to write to C:\Perl64\..., I suggest that you install modules to the default directory by removing INSTALL_BASE=~/perl5.
If you don't have access to write to C:\Perl64\..., I suggest that you install Perl itself in a directly to which you do have access to write, and then I'd install modules to the default directory by removing INSTALL_BASE=~/perl5.
Since you didn't actually specify INSTALL_BASE=~/perl5 on the command line, you are specifying it through the environment (PERL_MM_OPT and PERL_MB_OPT), or in cpan's configuration (o conf from within cpan).

I integrated perl in eclipse and used Net::SSH::Except module for scripting, but am getting an error as Can't locate Net/SSH/Expect.pm in #INC (you may need to install the Net::SSH::Expect
module) (#INC contains: C:/Perl64/site/lib/MSWin32-x64-multi-thread C:/Perl64/site/lib

Therefore, Am trying to install IO::Tty for Expect dependency, using command cpan>notest install IO::Tty.
i am getting the following error message :
and the module is not being installed, even the NET::SSH::Expect not getting installed.

i have tried installed IO::Tty with following command
cpanm --install IO::Tty
cpanm --verbose IO::Tty
cpanm --force IO::Tty
all failing , this may be due to the lower version of the perl.
what is the command to upgrade cpan from cmd and also perl through cmd?
Sadly the Perl Expect module requires a UNIX based OS to function. I have implemented this a few times on a windows platform and basically you need to install an older ActiveState distribution of TCL, then you can have the Perl script call an external EXPECT script, like this:
$expectOutput = `[path_to_expect_script.expect]`;
Your variable will then contain the output of the Expect script.
Hope this helps!
Edit: You may like to reword your title to attract more answers relating to using expect on windows.
Solved!
the new version of Expect is made compatible with the windows, but it need to be installed with cygwin ..
In eclipse , make interpreter as cygwin (windows -> preference -> EPIC Perl -> interpreter).
and execute the script:)
I'm trying to install Math::Pari module but getting error.
I'm installing on Windows Server 2012R2, I've Strawberry perl v5.18.4.1 32-bit currently installed on it.
Actually Math::Pari is dependency for Net::SSH::W32Perl and I want to install that module.
Following is the error log. Please Give me step by step installation procedure.

Did not find GP/PARI build directory around.
Apparently, you are running a 64-bit Perl built with MicroSoft's compilers.
GP/PARI (at least the versions I know how to work with, 2.1.* and 2.3.*)
cannot be built in this environment. I won't auto-download GP/PARI.
If you believe that this message is printed erroneously, please report
(see files README and INSTALL), and put force_download on the command line:
perl Makefile.PL force_download
One can rerun Makefile.PL after fetching GP/PARI archive (e.g., pari-2.1.7.tgz,
or pari-2.3.4.tar.gz) manually to the current directory, or a (grand)parent
directory of the current directory.
[Keep in mind that the numbers "inside version" of Math::Pari module
correspond to the last versions of GP/PARI it was tested with (additionally,
2.0108* works best with the last 2.1.* version, 2.1.7).
As an alternative to having archive in CWD or its (grand)parent, specify
pari_tgz=PATH_TO_TAR_GZ
option to Makefile.PL.
There is no need to extract the archive, or build GP/PARI; but if you
have it extracted [and patched, if needed], you may specify
paridir=PATH_TO_DIST_DIR
option to Makefile.PL instead of `pari_tgz'. However, in this case
the files WON'T be auto-patched.
As a last-resort solution, there is also a possibility to use an already
compiled PARI library. See the documentation in README and INSTALL files.]
Could not find GP/PARI build directory, please run Makefile.PL
with paridir=/directory option.
-> N/A
-> FAIL Configure failed for Math-Pari-2.010808. See C:\Users\script\.cpanm\work\1438929213.2276\build.log for details.
I thought I'd add a note for anyone coming here as a result of a Google search after their own Math::Pari install fails under Strawberry Perl.
Here is what worked for me (Strawberry 5.22):
A. from the cpan shell, tried to install Math::Pari. this failed
B. Downloaded pari-2.1.7 and placed the extracted folder pari-2.1.7 in the cpan build folder that was created in (0). This is found, by default, in C:\Strawberry\cpan\build
C.perl Makefile.PL Configure machine=none
D. dmake
E. dmake install
It basically means that 64 bit versions of perl are not supported. It also means that if you're sure that you're running a 32 bit version incorrectly detected as 64 bit, you can try opening a command line and then doing
cd C:\Users\script\.cpanm\work\1438929213.2276\

Build.PL is trying to call a function called prompt but it doesn't exist. This is because they recently switched build systems from ExtUtils::MakeMaker (Makefile.PL) to Module::Build (Build.PL) but didn't fully convert the program. I've reported the bug.
Most people don't notice this because the prompting is only necessary if GD can't configure itself. It does this by looking for the gdlib-config program. If that can't be found, or it doesn't work, it will ask you for your gdlib configuration. It's best to let gdlib-config take care of that. Best way to solve this problem is to make sure gdlib-config is somewhere in your PATH and that gdlib-config --all works.
Otherwise replace all the instances of prompt in Build.PL with Module::Build->prompt and it should work.
I'm not sure about doing this on OSX, but I recently had similar problems with installing CPAN modules on CentOS.
Some prerequisite modules simply wouldn't install properly from CPAN. These modules had RPMs available. After installing some of the prerequisites via yum, I was able to get CPAN to install the modules I needed.
In particular, I had to install Module-Build and Archive-Tar (which brought in a number of other dependency rpm's) using yum.
Hope this helps.

************* WARNING *************
Your Perl is configured to link against libgdbm,
but libgdbm.so was not found.
You could just symlink it to /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgdbm.so.3.0.0
************* WARNING *************
Next we need to know where the 'apxs' script is located. This script
provides a lot of information about the Apache installation, and makes
it easier to find things on your system. Normally it's located in the
same directory as the 'httpd' executable.
If you don't yet have Apache installed you can build Apache against
the Apache source code, but you won't be able to run the test suite (a
very important step). Therefore you may want to install Apache before
proceeding.
Please provide a full path to 'apxs' executable
(press Enter if you don't have it installed):
Please provide the location of the Apache directory:
[ error] Can't find dir ''
Please provide the location of the Apache directory:
[ error] Can't find dir ''
To resolve the perl lib issue, cd /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ then link libgdbm.so.3.0.0 to libgdbm.so.
ln -s libgdbm.so.3.0.0 libgdbm.so.
That should clear up the first warning.
For the apxs issue, you need to install apache2-dev.
on Ubuntu use the following command
sudo apt-get install apache2-dev
Rerun and that should correct it.
