Installation on Windows need to be done manually, by editing Makefile.PL. 1. Specify your curl include directory on the line "my @include = qw()". 2. Specify the following parameters on the line below, where is your curl directory like this: my ($cflags,$ldflags,$lflags) = ('-I"\\include"', '-L"\\lib"','-lcurl -lcurldll'); can be for example: "E:\\Perldev\\downloader\\curl-7.18.2-devel-mingw32" (without quotes); 3. Save Makefile.PL. 4. Execute "perl Makefile.PL"; 5.
