Can't compile anything - *.h missing ??

Hi all,

I'm new to perl on Windows, long term casual user of perl on *nix. I was told I should 
post this issue here.

Context: Win7 x64, fresh default install of Strawberry Perl.

Goal: install pp

Result: no matter what I've tried so far, all GCC compiles quickly fail due to some kind of 
(path?) problem: none of the standard *.h files can be found.

Ideas? Help with how to diagnose? Any thoughts MUCH appreciated!
