Last time I tried to install on Windows I gave up as a variety of CPAN
modules just didn't install (and looking at some of the errors I found
unixisms in file path munging - particularly in tests etc - so it gave me
the impression that it would require lots of tweaking).

Have since discovered ActiveState's PPM (Perl Package Manager), and would
try that next time (for as many packages if they exist).

C:\>ppm
PPM interactive shell (2.1.5) - type 'help' for available commands.
PPM> help
Commands:
    exit              - leave the program.
    help [command]    - prints this screen, or help on 'command'.
    install PACKAGES  - installs specified PACKAGES.
    quit              - leave the program.
    query [options]   - query information about installed packages.
    remove PACKAGES   - removes the specified PACKAGES from the system.
    search [options]  - search information about available packages.
    set [options]     - set/display current options.
    verify [options]  - verifies current install is up to date.
    version           - displays PPM version number
