GD has a binary component (GD.DLL), which means that to install it from CPAN, you will need a compiler--the same compiler as was used to build your copy of perl, which means MS VC++ if you are using ActiveState perl. If you don;t have access to a (correct) compiler, you will need to install it from a pre-compiled source.

PPMs for GD and several other GD-* packages are available from here.

Either set a PPM repository to point to the link above 

ppm>rep add kobes http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/

[download]

and then install using PPM in the normal way, or download the PPM/PPD files from that link and use point PPM at them.

PodMaster's links (especially A Guide to Installing Modules from tachyon)will explain how to do this better than I can.
