Hi, I am very new to PERL and I have been fighting with this issues for past one week now. It is very disappointing that I am not able to solve this issue. Any help is greatly appreciated. I downloaded the LAB::VISA module from http://search.cpan.org/dist/Lab-VISA/li ... lation.pod and unzipped it. I downloaded NI-VISA, and my Makefile.PL looks like this: 

(($^O =~ /MSWin32/)
? ('LIBS' => ['"-lC:\\Program Files\\IVI Foundation\\VISA\\WinNT\\lib\
+\msc\\visa32.lib"'],
'INC' => '"-IC:\\Program Files\\IVI Foundation\\VISA\\WinNT\\Include"'
+,
)
: ('LIBS' => ['-lvisa'],
'INC' => '-I/usr/local/include/',
)
),

But when I make the file I get the below error, what am I doing wrong? 

C:\Strawberry\cpan\Lab-VISA-3.02>perl Makefile.PL CC=/usr/bin/gcc
Note (probably harmless): No library found for -lvisa

My Makefile is as follows: 
#This is where the problem occurs.
.c$(OBJ_EXT):
    $(CCCMD) $(CCCDLFLAGS) "-I$(PERL_INC)" $(PASTHRU_DEFINE) $(DEFINE)
