I keep both dmake and nmake (from M$) on my machine, and toggle between them as necessary. nmake usually does the job. See the Win32 FAQ in the ActiveState docs for the download URL.

Also, I am soon going to post instructions for getting CPAN (perl -MCPAN -e shell) to work on NT/2K (i.e. - urls to tools, etc.). This may work on 95/98/ME, but I lack a box to test it on (unless I commandeer my kid's machine, but my son is addicted to Humongous Sports Backyard Baseball/Soccer. He can be VISCIOUS when he wats to be!).
