Thanks syphilis for your suggestions,

The test with Inline::C was a collateral experiment. cpan -fi Inline::C still failed with strawberry perl 5.14 I suppose while building prerequisite Win32::Mutex or it's preprerequisite Win32::IPC

Instead strawberrry Perl 5.24 64bit installed all modules smoothly. This is good.

So i retried the Inline::C test but again my ignorance won: as I understand from Inline::C docs I must have subroutine in the C code to be exported into Perl. I was not able to tranform the C code into a sub. More: the first error (or well the first that seems an error to me), complains with int len = floor(10 * N/3) + 1 pointing to the f of foor I assumed that the math.h was not imported at that time.

thanks again, but probably I have no much fu to proceed further with C, or I must take it seriously and study from basics..
