If I fix the PATH, then installing Math::GSL fails for me, too
If I set PKG_CONFIG_PATH env var to the location of the gsl.pc file:
set PKG_CONFIG_PATH=D:\sp\_64\sp-5.32.1\perl\site\lib\auto\share\dist\
+Alien-GSL\lib\pkgconfig
then I get a little bit further but it still fails because Build.PL inc/Ver2Func.pm doesn't cater for the possibility that the gsl library is at a version greater than 2.7.
The build terminated with:
....

So I changed the "2.7" => { to "2.7.1" => { in inc/Ver2Func.pm, installed the missing build prerequisites (Test::Class, Test::Most and Test::Taint) using cpanm, and built the damn thing manually by running perl Build.PL, perl Build test and perl build install.
There were a few test failures:

Result: FAIL
Failed 9/58 test programs. 0/2791 subtests failed.
I note that Alien built and installed static libs (libgsl.a & libgslcblas.a) rather than the dll I was expecting. I don't know if that caused any problems.
Running the following script:
use strict;
use warnings;
use feature 'say';
use Alien::GSL;
use Math::GSL;
use Math::GSL::SparseMatrix ':all';
say join ' ', Alien::GSL->version, Alien::GSL->install_type;
say Math::GSL::gsl_version();
my $m = gsl_spmatrix_alloc( 1, 1 );
die if gsl_spmatrix_set( $m, 0, 0, 1 );
say gsl_spmatrix_nnz( $m );
die if gsl_spmatrix_set( $m, 123 + 1 << 32, 0, 1 );
say gsl_spmatrix_nnz( $m );
die if gsl_spmatrix_set( $m, 456 + 1 << 32, 0, 1 );
say gsl_spmatrix_nnz( $m );
produced:
D:\s\Math-GSL-0.43>perl \pscrpt\math-gsl\try.pl

Admittedly, my hack to inc/Ver2Func.pm was perhaps unrealistically hopeful ;-)
The gsl-2.7.1 that Alien installed is definitely the only gsl library on this machine.
I think I'll write to Math::GSL queue.
Yes, I think that's an appropriate thing to do.
Good luck with it.
Cheers,
Rob
