I have attempted to install several of these modules via CPAN, using every variation on make I can find
 Why did you do that? You should only use what perl -MConfig die$Config{make} reports as your make tool. To attempt different ones would end in certain failure.

I spend a good deal of time compiling modules, and maintaining my own ppm repository.

CPAN.pm in my experience, has sucked enormously on win32 ~ CPANPLUS has faired better, but I still prefer to do things manually. The next release of CPANPLUS is highly anticipated, because it will essentially replace PPM (a great set of modules, but a very bad shell if you ask me).

Now, I checked out CGI::Panel, and it requires Apache::Session, MD5, and Storable, all of which you should either have, or are available over ppm. I get all my Apache/mod_perl modules fro Randy Kobes's ppm repository, including Apache::Session.

I suggest you update your CGI.pm ~ that way you can have at least 1 good install experience under your belt ;)

update: If you dont' have your enviroment set up right, you may have to run vcvars32.bat.

After a manual install, I also find it useful to run 

perl -MActivePerl::DocTools -e ActivePerl::DocTools::UpdateHTML()
perl -MActivePerl::DocTools -e ActivePerl::DocTools::WriteTOC()

Dog_and_pony: while that is true, I still need to run WriteToc sometimes, and well, I haven't typed the above snippet since I day I wrote it on my homenode (been cut'n'pasting ever since, and will continue to do so).
