Hi Eva,
What version of perl are you running? I have created a ppd
with:
G:\modules\Time-Local>perl -v
This is perl, v5.8.3 built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread.
version of perl.
However, you should be able to install the module without
using a c compiler. What you need is the nmake utility
Download and extract the Time::Local distribution from
CPAN.
then open a dos window and do this
G:\modules\Time-Local>perl makefile.pl
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good

Appending installation info to
f:\perl\5.8.3\lib\MSWin32-x86-multi-thread/perllocal.pod
G:\modules\Time-Local>
This should do the trick.
I hope this helps
