Howdy bros. I am trying to install WordNet::QueryData on a Win 7 machine with Perl64 and am having hell with it.

PPM doesn't have it.

Download source. No make.

Get nmake15.exe from Microsoft. Windoze says "The version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you're running." Sigh.

Get dmake & unzip into ../perl64/bin. Run dmake. "Error -- 'C:\Perl64\libConfig.pm' is not found and can't be made." Arrgh.

Try CPAN. "It looks like you don't have a C compiler and make utility installed. Trying to install dmake and the MinGW gcc compiler using Perl Package Manager. ppm.bat install failed: Can't find any package the provides Min GW." #%@*&!

What to do?
