Install VC++, preferrably exactly the version that was used to compile your perl.exe (traditionally, this is MSVC 6).

If you're feeling adventurous, you can try one of the prepackaged Perl packages that come with a properly configured compiler (MingGW), like Vanilla Perl or Strawberry Perl, found at the same location.

If installing a suitable C compiler is impossible, you can try to look for a precompiled version (.ppm) of the module you want (it seems to me you want Time::Piece) and use that, or you can try to investigate the alternative modules that implement the same functionality but are written in pure Perl.
