Got this from Jeff Hobbs @ Activestate a couple of days ago:

ppm install MinGW

Then untar your package, and compile it as if you were in unix:

dmake
dmake test
dmake install

Sounds good, but is it available for Perl 5.8 ?

I can't seem to find it there.

I tried "ppm install MinGW" with ActivePerl 822 (perl-5.8.8), and it
was available there. However, as Gaurav pointed out earlier, this
won't help installing Math-TrulyRandom, which hasn't been ported to
this Win32 environment yet (it also doesn't build with VC++).

RE: Install Truly Random from CPAN when not listed in the ppm search

Could you tell me what repository you were pointing to? I can't find it
via PPM.

ppm> repository
Repositories:
[1] ActiveState Package Repository
ppm>
ppm> s MinGW
Searching in Active Repositories
No matches for 'MinGW'; see 'help search'.
ppm>
ppm> version
PPM - Programmer's Package Manager version 3.4
ppm>

My Perl

This is perl, v5.8.8 built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread
(with 25 registered patches, see perl -V for more detail)
