I did a little looking into this, since you have obviously decided that this is something you need. If you check out perlcc.bat, then you will see that there is a system() call. The system call references $Config{cc}, which if you look farther up the ladder, seems to point to a file that matches /^cl/i, which would be CL.EXE, which comes with MS Visual C and MS Visual C++. So other than forking out a few hundred dollars for a Microsoft compiler, it looks like your best bet would be to download Cygwin and see if you can get it working under their shell. I believe it comes with a compiler and Perl.
