the only way to get modules going under Active State AFAIK is with nmake. availible here occasionally you will fail on building modules because you do not have cl.exe or c1.dll both of these are availible in older versions Visual Studio. I got a student version several years ago for $150 i'm not sure if these can be found anywhere else. nmake is usually enough to build packages under windows.

Otherwise you can build with the version of perl that comes with cygwin.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
