When installing modules on win32, you should first try using ppm.  Then 
try CPAN if it's not pre-built for you as a ppm.  They will both take 
care of dependencies.  If you run into anything that uses C code, the 
only option is using ppm packages.  Installing by hand like you are is 
going to take forever and drive you (and probably us) nuts.
