^^^^^^^^^^^
This is the problem, Activestate uses microsoft's c compiler to compile
perl (5.6.1) you need to this complier when installing modules that require
a C compiler.
you need to use the ppm utility that ships with Activestate in order
to install the these modules. You can search the datetime archive
to locate a depository for you version of perl.
I hope this helps.
