In order to compile source code under Windows you will need to obtain
a 'make' utility. The <command>nmake</command> utility provided with
Microsoft Visual C++ may be used. As an alternative, there is a
utility called <command>dmake</command> available from CPAN which is
written entirely in Perl. The majority of the links given below, however,
are to pre-compiled versions of the modules, which can be installed
on Windows simply by issuing the following command once you have
downloaded the PPD file (which may be packaged within a ZIP file):

<para>Note: some modules are in the core distribution of
ActiveState Perl for Windows. Others are not available.
No PPM links have been provided in either of these two cases.

<note>
Running Bugzilla on Windows requires the use of ActiveState
Perl 5.8.1 or higher. Some modules already exist in the core
distribution of ActiveState Perl so no PPM link is given.
(This is noted where it occurs.)
