The CPAN Testers report says UUID-0.28 can successfully install on Win 10, Strawberry Perl v5.30.1; unfortunately, I don't know why they didn't have problems with the library when you did

Do you absolutely need UUID? Or could you use Data::UUID instead? That one installed for me with 5.30.0 with no problem (though you might need to create c:\tmp)

I decided to see whether UUID worked for me, using the cpanm client to --look inside the distribution to manually do the build, test, and install steps separately. I didn't install any separate libraries before running this. I included my perl -V, in case that will help you. I did not have any problems; maybe this will give some hints as to what's different.

update

Wait, re-reading your error messages, # Compiler seems to be C:\MinGW\bin\gcc.exe. That's not normal if you're using Strawberry perl. Before trying to use the toolchain to build non-pure-perl modules, it's best to make sure that all the strawberry paths are before any other compilers in your path. If you were using portable strawberry, you could just run ~~portableperl.bat~~ portableshell.bat. Otherwise, run PATH=c:\strawberry\c\bin;c:\strawberry\perl\bin;c:\strawberry\perl\site\bin;%PATH% before trying to install using cpanm UUID.
