The /PPMServer repository is for ActivePerl 6xx builds,
which explains your previous error about a suitable
package not being found.

That comes from Perl; if you query
C:\> perl -V:cc

That's what's used to build ActivePerl, and one generally
shouldn't compile extensions with a compiler different
than that used to build Perl.
