title: Perl extension installation - unable to run nmake
body: <p>I am trying to install a module using cpan on XAMPP.  I am running Windows 7.</p>
  <p>Immediately after this prompt is given:</p>
  <p>CPAN.pm: Going to build J/JE/JESSE/HTTP-Server-Simple-0.43.tar.gz</p>
  <p>It gives the prompt that &quot;The required nmake executable file is not found, and attempts to fetch it.</p>
  <p>After this, a popup window appears stating the program &quot;??\c:\xampp\perl\bin\Nmake15.exe can not run due to incompatibility with 64 bit versions of windows.</p>
  <p>I downloaded VC++ and copied the make.exe from that install into my perl/bin to replace the original make.exe.  This still didn't work.  Any idea how I can get installations to work with CPAN?</p>
