    I know, I know, Linux is preferred. Thanks.
      hey, were you able to figure this out? I am just learning perl, and like you I need some Bioperl modules for writing a script. I was able to install Bioperl with built in modules, despite getting the error " You don't have aC compiler in your path and install MinGW." But when I try to install any other Bioperl modules, they are never installed because I do not have an nmake on my windows, The nmake15.exe on bioperl website does not run on 64 bit, and I don't know where else to get it. But you had the exact same problem as mine, so I would be very happy if you tell me how you solved it. Thanks! :)
        Hey just try CPAN(all in capital) on you windows command console it'll automatically download and install C compiler and MinGW as well and even make utility but it may be nmake or dmake. try this out :-) \m/
