Mighty monks of mystery and mercy!

I'm trying to install Spreadsheet-TieExcel-0.73 on my system, winxp, activestate. ppm install didn't work OOTB. My ppm fu is pretty weak, I don't know how to locate another repository. So I tried just downloading and making with nmake.

I get

WARNING: missing nmake.err; displaying error numbers without messages. Makefile.pl(4) : U1035: Stop.

The makefile is just 

use ExtUtils::MakeMaker;
# See lib/ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm for details of how to influence
# the contents of the Makefile that is written.
WriteMakefile(
    'NAME'        => 'Spreadsheet::TieExcel',
    'VERSION_FROM'    => 'TieExcel.pm',
    'PREREQ_PM'        => {Win32::OLE},
);

[download]
Anyone know what's going on? Should I submit a bug report to CPAN?

Or, alternative to nmake, how do I go about finding a repository for this mod so I can get the job done automagically with ppm?
