Building and installing Perl modules for v5.7.3 in win32 environment

I am struggling to get the Perl modules build and installed so that I can work with mib2c to work on custom MIBs.  I compiled version 5.7.3 using the VC instructions, linking to external OpenSSL.  It took a bit of work, but thinks finally worked and I have verified that things are working by walking the system MIB with a SNMPv3 user, using authPriv for security.

I am following the instructions provided in the perl\SNMP README.  It states I need to have built both static and dynamic versions of netsnmp, I have done that.

It states I need to download gnu_rexex.exe from a site that is provided.  Here is the first problem, that file is apparently corrupted, and won't unzip.  There are other instances of people online encountering the same problems.  I instead downloaded regex 2.7, and followed the same instructions.  There are differences in the names of files, and perhaps this is the problem.  Specifically, the instructions state:


1.      Copy regex.h to VC\include in my case, I am using Visual Studio 2013, so I copied regex.h to C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\VC\include

2.      Copy gnu_regex.lib to VC\lib.  There is no gnu_regex.lib in regex 2.7, there is a regex.lib, and I copied this to C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\VC\lib

3.      Copy gnu_regex.dll to System32.  There is no gnu_regex.dll in regex 2.7, but there is a regex2.dll in the bin directory of 2.7, I copied this to my system32 folder

The next steps set up the environment in a command window, and I invoke win32\nmakeperl.bat.  This provides a lot of information as it works its way through, I eventually get to a line that states:

Make the Perl SNMP modules.
to undefined at C:/Perl/lib/ExtUtils/Install.pm line 1198.
NMAKE: fatal error U1077

The README states I should check the nmake.out file, which I do, it is empty

Bottom line, the Perl modules don't install and I am unable to use the various tools that require that they be installed.  Any help at all is greatly appreciated.

In case it is needed, I am running Windows 7 Pro x64.  I tried to build a 64 bit version of NetSNMP, but that had so many problems that I gave up and built a 32 bit version, which worked...until I tried to build the Perl modules that is.

Thanks,
