I'm attempting to install Text::CSV_XS on perl (v5.10.0 built for MSWin32-x64-multi-thread). This is the version of perl that comes with oracle and have half the program configured for this so can't change to Strawberry (which it works in!)

I've installed Visual C++ Express and attempted to install with CPAN, it falls over at the following: 
        icl -c    -nologo -GF -W3 -MD -Zi -DNDEBUG -O1 -DWIN32 -D_CONS
+OLE -DNO_STRICT -DHAVE_DES_FCRYPT -DPERL_IMPLICIT_CONTEXT -DPERL_IMPL
+ICIT_SYS -DUSE_PERLIO -MD -Zi -DNDEBUG -O1    -DVERSION=\"1.20\"  -DX
+S_VERSION=\"1.20\"  "-ID:\oracle\WL10.3.6.0\FR11.1.2.0\perl\lib\CORE"
+   CSV_XS.c'icl' is not recognized as an internal or external command
+,operable program or batch file.
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'icl' : return code '0x1'
Stop.

From hours and hours of Googling, it looks like it is trying to use the icl compiler, which I can see is specified in the MakeFile - CC = icl ... the problem is we don't have the intel compiler and aren't able to pay the x££ for it.

I'm new to all this and trying to get my head around it. Could someone lend a gentle hand to how to get it compiled and installed.

Please let me know if i've missed out anything important.

Many Thanks, Michael
