Can't locate Win32/Capture.pm in @INC ...

For me on Strawberry-5.30.0 the building of Win32::GUI::DIBitmap is being skipped because that module can't be built using gcc. At least that's what the Makefile.PL claims.
Therefore that module does not get installed.
However, that module is a pre-requisite for Win32::Capture ... therefore Win32::Capture won't install.
You can force the installation of Win32::Capture by cd'ing to the Win32::Capture build directory and running gmake install
For me that build directory was C:\Users\me\.cpan\build\Win32-Capture-1.6-1.
However, doing so is futile: 
C:\>perl -MWin32::Capture -le 1

I don't see much chance of a workaround. According to its Makefile.pl, Win32::GUI::DIBitmap won't even build with 64 bit msvc compiler.
Do you have a 32 bit Microsoft compiler handy ?

Another hack is to edit Win32/Capture.pm so that it no longer tries to load Win32::GUI::DIBitmap, but I suspect (untested) that might render Win32::Capture unusable.
Still, it's something else for you to try if you think it might be useful.
