I am having a lot of trouble getting Inline::Ruby to install on Win32...I've 
tried going through CPAN shell, as well as simply downloading it and trying to 
work through the errors myself.  I am willing to work through most of the 
debugging if I can get somebody with a little knowledge of the Inline::* stuff 
to get me started.

More specifics:
Just trying to install from cpan, I get the error "Could not find the ruby 
interpreter on your PATH"

This was easy to fix, by manually correcting the Makefile.pl as such:
#-----ORIGINAL---------
#for $p (split /$Config{path_sep}/, $ENV{PATH}) {
#    $p =~ s/^~/$ENV{HOME}/;
#    $p .= "/ruby";
#   push @rubies, { path => $p } if -f $p && -x $p;
#}
#------EDIT----------------
push @rubies, {path=>'C:/Ruby192/bin/ruby.exe'};
------------------------------

Then I can run
perl Makefile.pl
Set up gcc environment - 3.4.5 (mingw-vista special r3)
Found 1 ruby executables on your PATH.
1. C:/Ruby192/bin/ruby.exe
Use which? [1] 1
Using C:/Ruby192/bin/ruby.exe
Using these settings:
   Extra Libs:  -lshell32 -lws2_32
   Ruby Lib:    -LC:/Ruby192/lib -lmsvcrt-ruby191.dll
   Includes:    -IC:/Ruby192/lib/ruby/1.9.1/i386-mingw32
   Extra Flags: none (perl Makefile.PL --help for details)
Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good
Writing Makefile for Inline::Ruby
Writing MYMETA.yml

Ok, so far so good. Now I run 'dmake' and everything falls apart.  I am looking 
for a little guidance on how to get this module to build for me? Below is the 
output from dmake:
