I have successfully gotten this working now and, so far, it is running without error (awaits segfault).

To get this to work I copied the lib, dll and include files to the CORE directory in <dir>/perl/lib. I then had to edit perl-libxml-mm.c to get it to compile with cl.exe.

I changed: 
xmlChar * decoded = PmmFastDecodeString( PmmNodeEncoding(real_doc) ,
                                                     ( xmlChar *)strin
+g,
                                                     ( xmlChar *)real_
+doc->encoding);

[download]
to 
xmlChar *decoded;
......
decoded = PmmFastDecodeString( PmmNodeEncoding(real_doc) ,
                                                     ( xmlChar *)strin
+g,
                                                     ( xmlChar *)real_
+doc->encoding);

I did get a few linker errors until I remembered to copy the zlib and iconv libs and headers into the core dir as well.

All of the libs were downloaded from xmlsoft. The versions of everything I used are: I have packaged this up as a PPM and successfully installed it so I am most pleased.

As I had to edit some of the XS code I am not ready to pass this around until I rigorously test it. The suite tests worked, however, so YYMV.
