    You haven't shown us the output from when you compile and test Math::PARI.

    The usual sequence of commands is

    perl -w Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install

    [download]

    So far we've only seen the perl Makefile.PL part.

    Update: Looking at your perl -V output, you have cc=cl, which means you're running on Win32 with MSVC as the compiler, so you'll have to change the above to:

    perl -w Makefile.PL
nmake
nmake test
nmake install

    Why don't you use ppm ? Math::Pari is availible even in ActiveState repositories.
