AdminMisc 2003 source was the last release When you look at that source you find a ppd file that references ppm packages built for perl-5.8 and earlier. This is not much use if you have perl-5.16. There's also a collection of headers, .cpp, and .c files - but no instructions that I could find as to how to build the damned thing. (Maybe I just didn't look hard enough.) I seem to recall that the idea was that you could build this as an MSVC++ Project if you had a Microsoft compiler that was capable of doing that and if you knew how to build a "Project". I have MSVC compilers that are "Project"-capable, but I don't know how to utilise that capability with this AdminMisc source - if, indeed, that is what one is supposed to do. Furthermore, I have no interest in researching how to build this (or any other) "Project". But if some knowledgeable person can provide a step-by-step account of how one can build this module from the given source (using either VC++ or MinGW) then I can probably provide ppm packages for it - and give it the availability it deserves.
