That will only work with ActiveStates Perl. ActiveState == Microsoft.
Another Perl comes not with PPM.
If you need to install a perl module without C-code as mentioned above,
you only need 'nmake' from MS, no C-compiler, look at ActiveStates Site
for nmake, they got a link to MS somewhere where you may load down 'nmake'.
But the best option for Win2000 users IMHO is to install Cygwin, it comes
with perl-5.6.1, compiler gcc-2.95.3, make and all the other tools to build
software and it runs like real unix, though a little bit slower (Win* is
slow). http://www.cygwin.com/setup.exe
