Oops, ok, sorry, I thought you had Strawberry. Last year I swapped all
things "Active" for Strawberry Perl.

In any case, maybe you can tinker with the ActivePerl cpan Config.pm so that
it uses the MinGW compiler and the Strawberry cpan settings. The idea would
be to make ActivePerl compile its modules using the Strawberry config
settings.Don't know if that would work.

Another way (if don't want to switch to strawberry flavored perl) is to just
install Strawberry, then edit your PATH and strip off all c:\strawberry\...
directories so that it won't disturb your ActivePerl installation. Then
create a little bat file that will give you a "strawberry prompt". Install
modules with strawberry cpan, then copy them from strawberry\perl\site (and
auto) into ActivePerl's \site directories.
