in thread Compiling Tk under Windows

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.
Please don't, that's not the reason cpan-testers sign up and test and report on distributions.
I would be surprised if a mingw environment was specially set-up for this module (but of course you never know until you ask).
You do if you read the report. http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.cpan.testers/129360

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

    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.

        So it did actually compile under "standard" Windows (notwithstanding the author's comments that it needs mingw).
