Your advice helped me to install the Math::GSL 0.22, but I found that in order to use the math functions that I need for Math::GSL 0.22, I have to use gsl v 1.13, which I haven't installed yet. I tried using cgywin to build the gsl v1.13 sourcecode, but it seems to have trouble with my gcc compiler.

The config.log file says the following: 

 configure:3388: $? = 0
configure:3377: gcc -v >&5
