Thanks for your reply. I really cannot install any module, either using cpan module or cpanp or directly or perl -MCPAN or shell. As far as I can tell, there is no Linux-like configure equivalent for Windows, I simply used nmake /f Makefile , as per instructions found in README file

Output of cpan look YAML

U:\.cpan\build\YAML-0.84-q_8Aj2>C:\path\to\perl\bin\perl.exe Makefile.

Looks good
Writing Makefile for YAML
JSON 2.5 is required for $ENV{PERL_JSON_BACKEND} = 'JSON::XS'
 at C:/path/to/perl/lib/CPAN/Meta/Converter.pm line 23.
 at C:/path/to/perl/lib/ExtUtils/MM_Any.pm line 1335.
END failed--call queue aborted.

But it won't let me install JSON or JSON::XS when I try that. I have JSON::PP 2.53 in the perl/lib directory, which it does show in @INC.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
