Where do I get this from? > I believe: ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/Softlib/MSLFILES/nmake15.exe or http://download.microsoft.com/download/vc15/Patch/1.52/W95/EN-US/Nmake15.exe Just run the downloaded executable to install nmake to the location of your choice, and add that location to your path. There will still be a number of modules that you won't be able to install as you don't have a compiler - specifically modules whose source contains an '.xs' file. You could remedy that by obtaining MSVC++ 6.0, or the free Microsoft .NET command line compiler (google for that - it's available on the Microsoft website), or the MinGW (gcc) compiler from http://www.mingw.org/download.shtml . Just download MinGW-4.1.0.exe and run it to install MinGW to the location of your choice - then add the MinGW\bin folder to your path. If you want to use the MinGW compiler with ActiveState perl you also need ExtUtils::FakeConfig from cpan. Once you've got all you want in place, then re-install CPAN.pm to enable proper configuration of it.
