justsimple,
I am sorry, but your english is not very clear. Let me try again:

So you have a couple of choices, you could install ActiveState Perl and follow the instructions I provided previously or you could build it on your Win32 platform by hand. If there is no XS (C code) required, then you can just download Microsoft's nmake.exe off the internet and follow the standard installation procedures.

c:\perl> perl Makefile.pl
c:\perl> nmake
c:\perl> nmake test
c:\perl> nmake install
[download]

On the other hand, if there is XS in this module (or any other you might need), you have a bit of a problem. XS code tends to want to be compiled with the same compiler that compiled Perl. In this case - you have gotten some form of Perl from (Web-Server Suite Package at http://www.devside.net). You may want to check there for FAQs and help in that case.
