Download nmake.exe from Microsoft. Double-click the exe and it should expand to three files. Put the new nmake executable and the error list into a directory in your path. If you wish, you can rename nmake.exe to make.exe and it will still work, but allow you to type 'make' instead of 'nmake' (some people prefer that).

Once you do that, extract the archive to a temp directory and CD to that directory. Then follow the usual steps:

perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install

Assuming you have ActiveState Perl, you can use PPM to install modules. Type "perldoc PPM" on a command line for more info. It's pretty simple:

C:\>ppm
PPM interactive shell (2.1.5) - type 'help' for available commands.
PPM> install DBI
Install package 'DBI?' (y/N):
[download]

Answer the question and type "quit" to exit.
