This information answers the question of how do you build and install
PadWalker. I could not find a concise explanation of how do you build
and install this module on any one group. I tried replying to a post
asking this exact question but was only able to reply to the original
author. I think this information will benifit others that are very new
to perl so I am directly posting this information. (I have about 36
hours under my belt now)
I am hoping this will be a benefit to others just trying to install
this or any other perl package.
Any corrections are comments about this matter will be appreciated.

************
To Installing PadWalker 1.5 (Active Perl)
First download package from http://search.cpan.org/dist/PadWalker/
(1). First you must generate the makefile by running the makefile.pl
script
perl makefile.pl
(2) Secondly you must then build the PadWalker object file by invoking
the C make file
nmake makefile
(3) Thirdly you must create the PadWalker DLL file by invoking the
linker
link -out:blib\arch\auto\PadWalker\PadWalker.dll -dll -nologo -
nodefaultlib -debug -opt:ref,icf -libpath:"C:\perl\lib\CORE" -
machine:x86 PadWalker.obj C:\perl\lib\CORE\perl58.lib oldnames.lib
kernel32.lib user32.lib gdi32.lib winspool.lib comdlg32.lib
advapi32.lib shell32.lib ole32.lib oleaut32.lib netapi32.lib uuid.lib
ws2_32.lib mpr.lib winmm.lib version.lib odbc32.lib odbccp32.lib
msvcrt.lib -def:PadWalker.def
(4) Copies and changes the permissions using perl (I am fuzz here)
C:\perl\bin\perl.exe -MExtUtils::Command -e chmod 644 PadWalker.bs
C:\perl\bin\perl.exe -MExtUtils::Command -e chmod 755 blib\arch\auto
\PadWalker\PadWalker.dll
C:\perl\bin\perl.exe -MExtUtils::Command -e cp PadWalker.bs blib\arch
\auto\PadWalker\PadWalker.bs
C:\perl\bin\perl.exe -MExtUtils::Command -e chmod 644 blib\arch\auto
\PadWalker\PadWalker.bs
(5) Testing the newly compiled DLL (realy  )
C:\perl\bin\perl.exe "-MExtUtils::Command::MM" "-e" "test_harness(0,
'blib\lib', 'blib\arch')" t/*.t
(6) Mounting the new package (copy)
>From \PadWalker-1.5
Copy PadWalker.PM to \perl\lib
>From \PadWalker-1.5\blib\arch\auto
Copy PadWalker to \Perl\lib\auto\PadWalker
Dir \Perl\lib\auto\PadWalker
..
...
PadWalker.bs
PadWalker.dll
PadWalker.exp
PadWalker.lib
(7) Test under perl
Run the following perl script
#!/usr/bin/env perl
BEGIN { require PadWalker }
use PadWalker qw( p _my );
my $x = 1;
my $h = p_my (0);
${$h->{'$x'}}++;
print $x; # prints 2
${$h->{'$x'}}++;
print $x; # prints 3
(Some times I get to have more fun the one person should be allowed to
have)
