I had a similar problem with Win32::API. What I eventually found out was that the .xs files need to be complied in order to install them, so just copying the files doesn’t work. Trying to figure out how to compile it hurt my brain.

What you can do instead is type “ppm” from a DOS prompt. While in ppm, you can type “search Win32*” and it will list all of the available Win32 modules. If you see Win32-Printer in the list, then you can type “install Win32-Printer” and it will install the Win32::Printer module.

I have no idea how this magic works, so if anyone would care to enlighten me, it would be greatly appreciated.
