Courage, Thanks, I'll see if I can find MSVC (is the MS Visual C?). I downloaded and installed nmake according to this site:

http://johnbokma.com/perl/make-for-windows.html

But I get fatal errors with that too:

P.S. Although it's trivial to know that you need a compiler to compile something, I would say that it's not trivial to know what compilers will work and if I already had one installed ;) Make is trying, and perl -V:Make seems to indicate that nmake is being used (even though I couldn't find it). In any case, I really appreciate your help, because figuring this stuff out is quite a project for me.
