IIRC, I think I actually used CPAN on ActiveState's perl on MSWindows
when I was doing perl on MSWindows several years back. I think I dug an
old version of nmake up in Microsoft's support site or something,
didn't have anything that needed to be compiled.
I'm not a big fan of ActiveState partly because of PPM and partly
because of their license, but it did the job.
