Those combinations would fail to even build Math::Int128
For Math::Int128 you need a 64-bit compiler, and hence a 64-bit build of perl.
Even then, the build is failing due to a bug in either perl itself or the Math-Int128-0.12 source. (Last I heard, the Math::Int128 author was investigating.)
If you have a 64-bit build of Windows perl you can install Math-Int128-0.12 using ppm:
ppm install http://www.sisyphusion.tk/ppm/Math-Int128.ppd --force
That package was built using this patch. (If you want to build Math-Int128-0.12 from source yourself, use that patch in preference to the patch supplied in the afore mentioned bug report.)
And keep an eye out for Math-Int128-0.13 which will hopefully build straight out of the box with MinGW ports of 64-bit gcc.

Okay, I tried that Math-Int128 package and it did install successfully on my Active Perl 5.16.3, 64-bit. Thanks for that.
However, I come back to the same problem: the last package I need to install is MaxMind::DB::Reader, and it requires version 0.12 of Net::Works. The Active repo has version 0.01 so I use cpan to try and install Net::Works 0.12 and dmake barfs on the same `inet_pton' errors:
C:\apps\Perl64\cpan\build\Net-Works-0.12-8Cw8vA>dmake test
C:\apps\Perl64\bin\perl.exe "-MExtUtils::Command::MM" "-e" "test_harne
+ss(0, 'blib\lib', 'blib\arch')" t/*.t

t/Address.t ................ Dubious, test returned 255 (wstat 65280,

I am using the gcc (rubenvb-4.5.4) and dmake (4.12-20090907) provided by Active's PPM.
