Installing Curl for Perl (WWW :: Curl :: Easy) on Windows

Question

I am running Strawberry Perl on Windows and should use WWW :: Curl :: Easy. But "Sorry, silent installation is not available on Windows."

There is README.Win32 in CPAN:

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 <DIR> is your curl directory like this:

my ($cflags,$ldflags,$lflags) = ('-I"<DIR>\\include"', '-L"<DIR>\\lib"','-lcurl -lcurldll');

<DIR> 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. Execute "nmake" ( you may need nmake from Mircosoft, which can be downloaded from http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q132084 );
6. Execute "nmake install".

Unfortunately, I do not understand how I need it. I think it should be possible with dmake instead of nmake, right? What is meant by various "included directories"?

Steps taken so far:

• Set Strawberry Perl
• Download and extract libcurl using ssl (curl-7.40.0-devel-mingw32.zip)
• Download and extract WWW :: Curl from CPAN

• edit makefile.pl

  - # my @includes = qw();
  + my @includes = qw (C:\Strawberry\curl-7.40.0-devel-mingw32\include);
  - # my ($ cflags, $lflags, $ldflags) = ('', '', '');
  + my ($ cflags, $ldflags, $lflags) = ('-I "C:\Strawberry\curl-7.40.0-devel-mingw32\include" ', '-L "C:\Strawberry\curl-7.40. 0-devel-mingw32\lib" ',' - lcurl -lcurldll ');
  ...
  - # open (H_IN, "- |", "gcc $curl_h" );
  + open (H_IN, "| gcc $curl_h" );

• edit curl.xs( )
