ActiveState use an automatic build system and some modules with unusual dependencies don't build. You should also have at least the uwinnipeg and bribes repositories in your list. It seems these folk manually build some of the modules.

However many modules either do not build properly on Win32 at all, or are not appropriate for Win32.

Update The module fails tests on Win32 because it is attempting to use Unix editors and none of them can be found, take a look at the tests and I think you will see why, it is trying to use vim, vi, emacs and ed. Maybe if the last two tests were re-written it would pass - and then build in AS's automatic system.
