You can control what zip program MakeMaker uses, and other related things,
with the "dist" option.

WriteMakefile(
   ...
    dist => {
        ZIP => '\path\to\your\zip.exe'
    }
);


As for where to get zip.exe, it was probably originally PKWARE's zip, but
info-zip is compatible.

7-zip might also be handy.
