I'm having a problem installing a Perl module (IO::FILE). The module needed cl.exe to perform the nmake, but the module still needs something set that I don't know how to do. When I run the nmake on the module files I receive this error message: ##########################################################

I already included "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Include" as a env path in the environmental variables. Can anyone tell me what I need to do to get this working?
