It is definitely possible to compile ARSperl with Visual C++ Express 2005.
The most common diffculties might be as follows:
(1) You will need also the "Microsoft Platform SDK".
(2) You have to take care that some environment variables are set
correctly. Visual Studio and the Platform SDK both supply batch scripts
to achieve this ("vcvars32.bat" for Visual C++,
"...\Setup\SetEnvLaunch***Retail.Cmd" for the SDK)
(3) After compiling, the so called "manifest" file has to be embedded
into the newly created ARS.dll (don't ask me why), or else you might get
an error message "MSVCR80.dll not found" when trying to run ARSperl.
To do this, run:
mt -manifest blib\arch\auto\ARS\ARS.dll.manifest
-outputresource:blib\arch\auto\ARS\ARS.dll;2
(The "mt" command is installed with Visual Studio)

It looks like it is still looking for a C compiler. I happened to
be using cygwin to access my unix servers so I already had GCC. You
can pull down gcc for windows from SourceForge

If you don't have some sort of compiler on your windows box
(like visual C, ...) you will have to pull down a copy of
nmake. A quick google found this site which talks about nmake
http://johnbokma.com/perl/make-for-windows.html and perl.
