I often see the "bad file descriptor" error when installing modules 
using cpanp, e.g. "cpanp i HTTP::Request::AsCGI". I get this whether 
building with nmake or dmake. For reasons I don't understand, it then 
goes away when I do:

z <MODULE> (open a subshell in the build dir for <MODULE>)
perl Makefile.PL
dmake
dmake test
dmake install
