This is usually fairly easy (unless you get a module that requires you have a C++ compiler installed). Download the module and unzip it. Then, you grab nmake and install that (when you run nmake for the first time, it will create some files that you can just copy to a directory in your path. Once that's done, you can just follow the typical install:

perl Makefile.PL
nmake
nmake test
nmake install
