You need to build against a native perl, like Strawberry or ActiveState.
(I have had mixed success with Strawberry) You do that by putting a path
to it at the start of the PATH. The wrinkle in this is that you need
prove to point to one that understands virtual paths. So you do
something like this:


PATH="/c/perl/bin:$PATH" PROVE=/bin/core_perl/prove configure ...
