On Windows you better use PPM
open a DOS box, type :
ppm
then type
install Mail::Tools
Activestate has a Package status list at
http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Downloads/ActivePerl/PPM/Packages
as well as a PPM FAQ at
http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Products/ActivePerl/faq/ActivePerl-faq2.html
If you want to compile your modules (since various modules are XS linked), you'll need
a C compiler (which usually comes with make).
