If all you want is to install binary modules on your Win32 machine, you should use PPM (I think that's Perl Package Manager) that comes in the Activestate distribution. Its a pretty good stab at a perl -MCPAN -e shell; equivalent, in the sense that it searches, downloads, and installs.

The major difference is that the modules are already in binary so it doesn't compile anything.

Give it a shot... You should get:

C:\ppm
PPM interactive shell (1.1.1) - type 'help' for available commands.
PPM> help
Commands:
    exit              - leave the program.
    genconfig         - prints a valid PPM.XML file to STDOUT.
    help [command]    - prints this screen, or help on 'command'.
    install PACKAGES  - installs specified PACKAGES.
    quit              - leave the program.
    query [options]   - query information about installed packages.
    remove PACKAGES   - removes the specified PACKAGES from the system
+.
    search [options]  - search information about available packages.
    set [options]     - set/display current options.
    verify [options]  - verifies current install is up to date.
