Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi,
I'm using strawberry perl on windows 7 rc, and for the past few days I haven't manage to install any modules.

I understand that I have to download the module from cpan, which I do, afterwards I have to open cmd, change directory to where I have extracted the module, and type:
perl makefile.pl
make
make test
make install

ok so.. I type perl makefile.pl and press ENTER. Then I see lots of text, saying extracting and all sorts of stuff.
Than if I type make, I get command not found...

After checking google, I found another way to compile de C files from the module directory, which would be to use nmake from microsoft, but it's a 16bit application and it's not supported on vista nor windows 7.

I also installed vmware, with ubuntu (bad choice?), but I couldn't connect to my pppoe connection since I don't have a router and using a proxy server on windows just to be able to connect ubuntu to the internet to download perl is too much of a fuss. Anyone can tell me if Fedora would work better?

thx in advance.

-----Post Update-----

dear god.. I managed to make it work...

In case anyone ever reads this post, ever.. this is how I did it..

in make case..
I downloaded Tk module from cpan.
I extracted it.
I moved the folder which was named something like: tk8.01912 to C:\strawberry\perl\lib\
I opened cmd , I typed cd C:\strawberry\perl\lib\ pressed enter.
than I typed : perl makefile.pl and pressed enter.. waited to load
than I type dmake afterwards dmake test and dmake install.
