A quick web search shows that this usually means the compiler flags used to compile the extension are different from the compiler flags used to compile Perl.  Your Makefile.PL has the line:

    CCFLAGS           => "/include=[]/standard=relaxed_ansi/prefix=all/obj=.obj/noshare_globals"

which will be similar but not 100% the same as what's used to build Perl, depending on configuration.  You'll probably want to take $Config{ccflags} and append "/noshare_globals" to it, though since that's the default for the compiler, it doesn't seem necessary to specify it.

You can see what your Perl was built with by doing:

$ perl -"V:ccflags"
ccflags='/Include=[]/Standard=Relaxed_ANSI/Prefix=All/Obj=.obj /NOANSI_ALIAS/float=ieee/ieee=denorm/NAMES=(SHORTENED)/Define=_USE_STD_STAT=1';
