gmake isn't that indispensable, M$'s 'nmake.exe', which you will find
on every more or less sufficiently assorted ftp-server, e.g.
ftp://ftp.cso.uiuc.edu/pub/X11/contrib/utilities/MSWindows-NT/NMAKE.EXE.1.12.0012
will do the job as well.
Put it in a directory your PATH is pointing to, preferably Perl/bin,
then start the usual task in the directory you put the contents of
poexxxx.tar.gz into:
perl Makefile.pl
nmake
nmake test #this fails on several tests, don't bother...
nmake install
It worked here as described, and most of the samples are running
flawlessly...
HTH, hh.
