I did copy the visa32.lib and visa.h to C:\Strawberry\cpan\Lab-VISA-3.02\include and C:\Strawberry\cpan\Lab-VISA-3.02\msc and changed my Makefile.PL as follows, but that does not work either. What else I need to correct?

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use ExtUtils::MakeMaker;

# If you have Swig installed, un-comment the next line 
# to re-create the wrapper code.
# If you do so, also un-comment the 'clean' section below
# to delete the swig-generated files when doing 'make clean'.
# TODO: should just check if swig is in the path

# system("swig -perl5 -module Lab::VISA visa.i");

WriteMakefile(
#   'clean'             => {
#       FILES => 'VISA.pm visa_wrap.c'
#   },

# Important: you have to adjust the 'LIBS' and 'INC' paths according t
+o your local setup!
# The correct values may depend on your exact version of LabView, VISA
+, GPIB drivers, 
# the phase of the moon and the local neutrino density...
# First two lines are for Windows, second two lines are for Linux.
# TODO: find out how to figure these out automatically.

    (($^O =~ /MSWin32/)
    ?   ('LIBS'         => ['"-lC:\\Program Files\\IVI Foundation\\VIS
+A\\WinNT\\lib\\msc\\visa32.lib"'],
         'INC'          => '"-IC:\\Program Files\\IVI Foundation\\VISA
+\\WinNT\\Include"',
        )
    :   ('LIBS'         => ['-lvisa'],
         'INC'          => '-I/usr/local/include/',
        )
    ),
    'NAME'              => 'Lab::VISA',
    'VERSION_FROM'      => 'VISA.pm',
    'OBJECT'            => q/$(O_FILES)/,
    'META_MERGE'        => {
