I have no compiler on this Windows machine See Installing a make utility and C compiler on 32-bit Windows in http://www.activestate.com/blog/2010/10/how-install-cpan-modules-activeperl. no explanation of how to integrate that See `LIBS` parameter in ExtUtils::MakeMaker to specify a library path.

I cannot install a compiler on this production server, and would (perhaps naively) hope that binaries would be available for anything needed on Windows, since Windows does not come with compilers.	[reply]

Then install the compiler on a different windows computer. Then copy the files over after installing it on the other computer. Your Perl versions must be identical since XS modules are compiled to only work with the Perl they were compiled with.	[reply]

Strawberry Perl (and I think ActivePerl now also) includes a development environment that should work with the CPAN interface or manually at the command line. What version of Windows are you installing to? Did you install gdbm for Windows? (not GDBM_File)	[reply]

I don't see a GDBM_File package in any repository.	[reply]

Oh yes, Windows Server 2003.	[reply]

Gdbm for Windows lists 95 / 98 / ME / NT / 2000 / XP but not Server 2003. The cpan page for this module states that gdbm must be installed first. The cpan command line interface can be used to install the GDBM_File module for Strawberry or ActivePerl. http://www.activestate.com/blog/2010/10/how-install-cpan-modules-activeperl. Update: oops, I see Daxim already provided the link.	[reply]
