A quick look into the zip at XML-XPath shows that it only contains the code for SUN-Solaris builds of AS unfortunately. If you have subscribed to a support contract with AS, you can request that they make it available, and they may do so. Otherwise, I think your into the situation of having to A) search the web to see if anyone else has a Win32 binary version available or B) Prevailing upon someone else with the wherewithall to build a copy for you.

Update It would seem that assuming you have installed XML::Parser, that XMP::XPath doesn't have any other binary components, so you ought to be able to install it successfully using the CPAN module.

Failing that, with a little care, it is totally feasable to install it successfully manually directly from search.cpan.org. I know, I just did it! There are 21 files and 2 directories required to do it, but it took me less than 10 minutes saving each file directly from my browser. I don't claim that I have a fully tested install, but I did run install and run the stress.t test successfully.

Examine what is said, not who speaks.
1) When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong.
2) The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible
3) Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
