As the error message says, you have an incomplete perl installation. They
have given you all you need to run perl scripts, but not enough to build a
perl extension. Install a *complete* perl (eg Activestate Perl ... or build
and install your own perl) and we might be able to get somewhere.

I get the same error if I remove my lib/CORE folder:
--------------------------------------------------------------
D:\comp58_M\Math-FFT-1.28>perl makefile.pl
Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good

Error: Unable to locate installed Perl libraries or Perl source code.

It is recommended that you install perl in a standard location before
building extensions. Some precompiled versions of perl do not contain
these header files, so you cannot build extensions. In such a case, please
build and install your perl from a fresh perl distribution. It usually
solves this kind of problem.

(You get this message, because MakeMaker could not find
"D:\perl58_M\5.8.7\lib\CORE\perl.h")

Cheers,
