  CPAN.pm: Going to build M/MU/MUIR/modules/Net-Netmask-1.9015.tar.gz


It looks like you don't have a C compiler and make utility installed. 
+ Trying
to install dmake and the MinGW gcc compiler using the Perl Package Man
+ager.
This may take a a few minutes...

ppm.bat install failed: Can't find any package that provides MinGW

It looks like the installation of dmake and MinGW has failed.  You wil
+l not be
able to run Makefile commands or compile C extension code.  Please che
+ck your
internet connection and your proxy settings!

Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good
Writing Makefile for Net::Netmask
'nmake' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

  nmake -- NOT OK
Running make test
  Can't test without successful make
Running make install
  Make had returned bad status, install seems impossible
Failed during this command:
