This is a compiler installation problem, not a Perl or CPAN problem.

It might be helpful if you can share what version and distro of Perl (ActiveState, Strawberry, etc.) that you're using.

If I'm reading your post correctly, it looks like your install is having issues calling nmake. I know that you need the same compiler (or a compatible compiler) that was used to build your Perl installation and I think the same holds true for the make/nmake/dmake utility too. Based on that, I would venture to guess that you might have an incompatibility between the compiler and nmake from your Visual Studio and the compiler that was used to build your Perl install.

I'm not real good at debugging module installation errors, so I guess there's a chance that I could be wrong. Just thought I'd my thoughts on the situation in case it might prove useful.
