(Or you could install it with ppm.) If you're asking about the CPAN.pm failure, I can't really help (as I don't use that module) - but there's apparently something wrong with your configuration of it. Looks to me that perhaps it hasn't been told to use 'nmake' as the make program. (You'll want to use the make program that's reported by 'perl -V:make' - which I assume is 'nmake').
