    "Why m i getting this warning?"

    You don't have a suitable compiler installed or Perl doesn't know about it.

    "What compiler is it asking about?"

    You need a c compiler, in the case of ActiveState Perl MinGW will do. Running the following from the command prompt will install it:

    c:\ppm install MinGW

    In your previous thread I advised you to sort our your PPM proxy configuration, and read the module installation tutorials. Have you done either or both of these?

    Strawberry Perl comes with a C compiler and PPM, but I suspect if you don't fix your network connections you will still have problems installing modules.

      I installed MinGw and i am still getting same warning.

      If i install Straberry perl, will it affect existing scripts?..or will it affect some other process in my system/

        Did you install MinGw via the ppm method I suggested? Please provide details of exactly what you've done, making people guess just takes longer. See How do I post a question effectively?.
