I created a VM with a Win10 install quickly, and performed the following tasks to get Win32::MultiMedia::Joystick to seemingly work (well, it doesn't complain about missing modules or brokenness). I use berrybrew here, as it allows you to keep separate your system Perl, and allows you to remove an installation if it breaks, and re-install at will.

Then, on the command line:

perl -MWin32::MultiMedia::Joystick -e ''

You shouldn't get any errors. Attempt running your script on the command line at this point and see what happens.

To go back to using your (possibly broken) system Perl, just do berrybrew off.
