Although I have never compiled software on Windows, I did install the GD binary and other supporting modules using PPM, from the Active State web site.

If you access PPM and type 'search GD' at the PPM prompt you should be able to locate the modules you require.

I have been using GD for a few weeks now, and have also installed the GIFgraph module, to support additional graph formats.

NOTE:

I am pretty new to module installation and still consider myself a Perl newbie; if I have misunderstood your question please excuse me.
