hello, i am using "perl 5, version 18, subversion 2 (v5.18.2) built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread-64int" on windows 7 enterprise(SP1).

I am trying to compile and install a perl module Audio::Scan (.71 version). I downloaded the module from cpan.org, extracted it locally in my machine. It contains readme.win32 text file which states the following: 

zlib 
---- 
The included zlib.lib should just work, if not: Download zlib from htt
+p://www.zlib.net/zlib123.zip. 
Build from projects/visualc6/zlib.dsw. 
Build Win32_LIB_Release Copy zlib.lib into the Audio::Scan win32 direc
+tory. 

Audio::Scan 
----------- 
Install ActivePerl 5.8.8 or 5.10.0. Open command prompt. Run the vcvar
+s file, for example C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\vcv
+arsall.bat 
perl Makefile.PL 
nmake 
nmake test 
------- 
END

[download]

I followed all the steps till nmake. The step before nmake i executed like this "perl Makefile.PL make=nmake" as it was generating it dmake style by default. This step goes well. But in nmake step, i get a lot of warnings followed by the following error: 

win32/zlib.lib(./Win32_LIB_Release/crc32.obj):(.text$mn+0x22): undefin

I read this thread Not able to compile perl modules in windows checked the compiler used to compile perl as follows: 

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\VC>perl -V:cc

[download]

it returned,

cc='gcc';

I am stuck at this point. Any help would be highly appreciated. Sorry for typos if any.
