First unzip.
Then go to that dir.
perl MakeFile.PL (proper casing)
then (download nmake from Microsoft)
http://support.microsoft.com/download/support/mslfiles/Nmake15.exe
install this dos program and then use:
nmake.exe (in module dir)
nmake.exe test (if there is a test with this module)
nmake.exe install
That should be it.
