I suggest that you contact the tester ('barbie(at)missbarbell.co.uk') and ask her how she did it and whether perhaps she still has the compiled version.

I would be surprised if a mingw environment was specially set-up for this module (but of course you never know until you ask).

... Compiler:
cc='cl', ccflags ='-nologo

Is cl the mingw C-compiler? I didn't know. If so, I stand corrected.

Comes from being compiler challenged on a corporate laptop without admin privileges to install all kinds of goodies.

(heh, I didn't actually say it but) No, cl is the microsoft compiler. The MinGW compiler is gcc.

I run a Win32 PPM repository for perl 5.6.x and 5.8.x -- I take requests (README).

The compiler listed is a misnomer, it's the compiler used to compile that version of the perl binary. In this instance I didn't compile Tk, although I have previously using Visual Studio. The version I currently have, 800.024, was installed via PPM, although I can't remember which repository I got it from now. Have a look through the list in PPM::Repositories, or better yet install the list into your copy of PPM and try 'install Tk' :)

I built and tested Tk::WinPrint with Visual Studio 6.0 if that helps. I don't have the binary any more as I was only testingit, not installing it.

Fortunately Perl is strong on regex and string-replacement!
