Math::Prime::FastSieve still doesn't install for me. I used cpan this time and it seems to have done the right thing by all the dependencies, but the compileation of the module itself fails with:

Stop.

A problem was encountered while attempting to compile and install your
+ Inline
CPP code. The command that failed was:
  c:\PROGRA~2\MICROS~1.0\VC\Bin\amd64\nmake.exe > out.make 2>&1

The build directory was:
C:\Perl64\cpan\build\Inline-CPP-0.33-uracNj\_Inline\build\_01basic_t_5
+cd2

To debug the problem, cd to the build directory, and inspect the outpu
+t files.

From the error message: _01basic_t_5cd2.xs(2) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'iostream.h': No such file or directory and a little googling, it looks like this is a common problem centred around using: #include <iostream.h>

rather than the (MS?) preferred:<code>#include <iostream></c>
