    Maybe you missed planetscape's reply to your initial question:

    Please have a look at A guide to installing modules for Win32, which has detailed instructions on how to use PPM and how to set it up so it works behind a proxy.

    Alternatively, as you claim to have VC, you should be able to compile the Math::Pari module by issuing the following commands after you've downloaded and unpacked the Math::Pari distribution:

    "%VCToolkitInstallDir%\vcvars32.cmd"
perl Makefile.PL
nmake
nmake test
nmake install

    [download]

    As an aside, please don't use FONT tags to colour your post as they clash with the colours people set up for their background. Use <code>...</code> tags to show console input and program output and source code.

        The idea is that you go to the link posted by jdtoronto ( http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/x86/Math-Pari.tar.gz ) and download the Math-Pari zip. Then extract that zip file to some folder, 'cd' to that folder and do what the Readme tells you to do. However ... don't know if it was just me ... or if the website was down when I tried .. or what ... but I couldn't download the zip file. As an alternative, download http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/x86/Math-Pari.tar.gz and place it in some folder and 'cd' to that folder. In the same folder, place a file named Math-Pari.ppd that looks like this: 
         <SOFTPKG NAME="Math-Pari" VERSION="2,010500,0,0">
    <TITLE>Math-Pari</TITLE>
    <ABSTRACT>Perl interface to PARI</ABSTRACT>
    <AUTHOR>Ilya Zakharevich &lt;cpan@ilyaz.org&gt;</AUTHOR>
    <IMPLEMENTATION>
        <OS NAME="MSWin32" />
        <ARCHITECTURE NAME="MSWin32-x86-multi-thread-5.8" />
        <CODEBASE HREF="Math-Pari.tar.gz" />
    </IMPLEMENTATION>
</SOFTPKG>

        [download]
        Then run:
        ppm install Math-Pari.ppd

        Cheers,
        Rob
