Warning: this distribution contains XS files,but Module::Build is not configured with C_support at C:/per/site/lib/module/build/base.pm line 1125

As far as I can tell KinoSearch-0.12 contains no XS files. At least there's none listed at http://search.cpan.org/~creamyg/KinoSearch-0.12/MANIFEST.

And I don't really understand the part about Module::Build not being configured with C support. (I haven't used Module::Build very much.) Do you have a C compiler ? You will need one if you want to build perl extensions (ie modules whose source contains XS files). With ActiveState build 817 you could use either Visual Studio or (the freely available) MinGW and dmake.

However, if it's just a matter of installing KinoSearch you could run:

ppm install http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/KinoSearch.ppd

That would give you version 0.11 of that module. Is that ok ? The same repository can provide you with the KinoSearch pre-requisites (eg Lingua-Stem-Snowball). I expect you will be prompted to install the pre-requisites when you install the KinoSearch ppm. If you browse to http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/ you can see the list of ppm's that are available there.

Cheers,
Rob
