Evidently this extension ships with a file Makefile as well as Makefile.PL. What the command perl Makefile.PL does is to write a file called Makefile. On Win32 you would usually use nmake. What nmake does is to read the content of the Makefile generated by running Makefile.PL and execute it to build the extension. The usual way to make an app on Win32 is: 

perl Makefile.PL
nmake && nmake test && nmake install

See A Guide to Installing Modules. Get nmake. Try it the usual way. If you can't get it to work post a link to the extension source. Monks like PodMaster and myself like getting stuff to build on Win32.....

The fact that it is looking for lVEILibDLL means that this is an XS/C based app. You will need a C compiler to build it successfully. The fact that it can't find this lib means you have a problem. See A Practical Guide to Compiling C based Modules under ActiveState using Microsoft C++
