in reply to how to get hold of perl modules

Get ppd from ppmpackages and arhive of ActivePerl modules from x86 or you can install 'microsoft visual studio' and install all modules from CPAN like under Linux but use nmake instead of make:
unzip SomeModule-XX-XX.tar.gz cd ./SomeModule-XX-XX perl Makefile.PL nmake nmake test nmake install
I hope I help :-)
