if you're on windows, your OS shipped without a c-compiler...
for that reason, activestate (www.activestate.com) use 'ppm' - the perl
package manager..
which means they already built binaries of the modules you're looking for.
i suggest you check that out, it will make your life a LOT easier if you run
windows =)
