As you suggested, I put nmake in the path. I also moved the code file to a folder with no spaces in the name. And here is perl's response (which I will try to format correctly -- sorry about the last note). 
C:\Temp\herehere>perl wma.txt
*****************
This module is deprecated. Please install the latest version of Inline
+X::C2XS instead
*****************
'nmake' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

A problem was encountered while attempting to compile and install your
+ Inline
C code. The command that failed was:
  nmake > out.make 2>&1

The build directory was:
C:\Temp\herehere\_Inline\build\wma_txt_8d90

To debug the problem, cd to the build directory, and inspect the outpu
+t files.

 at wma.txt line 9
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at wma.txt line 26.

C:\Temp\herehere

What should I look for in the output files? Other than that, I will gladly update the version of perl as you have suggested. Thanks.
