I have Strawberry Perl May 2016 (5.24.0) 32bit PortableZIP edition. I have only unzipped it; there are no changes otherwise.
When i want to install modules with cpan i got the follow error:

Seems to be no compiler found. What must I do to fix this?
Presumably you are running perl and cpan directly from the command prompt?
You should read the contents of the README.txt file in the distribution, where it tells you to run
c:\myperl\portableshell.bat before using any of the utilities
I hope it's clear that you must change c:\myperl to the folder where you unzipped the distribution
There are three subdirectories of the unzipped volume which need to be in the PATH before everything will work, and the .bat file will set those up temporarily for you. If you want something more permanent then the README.txt file explains how to do that, but you should probably run a proper installed version instead

my perl -v in case thats useful to anyone
PS C:\> perl -v
This is perl 5, version 32, subversion 0 (v5.32.0) built for MSWin32-x64-multi-thread
Anyone have any experience with this at all? I tried looking up some related issues on the errors I was getting but didn't find anything really useful.
Thanks!
#Clamp provided the correct solution by just completely deleting the Strawberry directory and doing a fresh install. Seemed as though there were two different versions conflicting.
I'd suggest deleting C:\Strawberry and install to a clean directory. – clamp Nov 25 '20 at 23:01
(Windows 10) Trying to Install Perl Modules both PPM and CPAN fail?
I have installed the newest version of Strawberry Perl and installed several modules without any errors. However, the module Encode::JIS2K is stubbornly failing to install:

I believe that enc2xs not found! at Makefile.PL line 35. is the problematic entry, but I am at a loss why there is something missing since all actions before returned "OK" and it worked for every other module so far.

When you find a problem like that, it's always worth checking to see if it's a known problem. You can do that by visiting the module's page on CPAN. You can then click on the "Issues" link in the left-hand menu.
You'll see there's an issue entitled enc2xs may not be found on MSWIN32 which is about the problem you've found.
Unfortunately, that problem has been there, unfixed, for five years. However, the problem description includes a suggested fix for the problem. You can edit your Makefile.PL and replace lines 34-35 with this:
$enc2xs = $enc2xs_fpath
if (-x $enc2xs_fpath || -x "$enc2xs_fpath.bat");
I am trying to install the Tk module in Strawberry Perl using cpan install Tk, but I get the following error message.

Tk installation with CPAN
I have tried following the steps here but it looks like this for ActivePerl and NOT Strawberry Perl.
I installed Perl from ActiveState. Plain version with no extensions. Windows 10.
"This is perl 5, version 28, subversion 1 (v5.28.1) built for MSWin32-x64-multi-thread"
A pre-existing perl script that I need to use accesses PostScript::Simple so I need to add that to my install.
Supposedly, the right way to do this is to open cpan and run the command "install PostScript::Simple".
However, it eventually fails with a dmake error. I've tried cpan install dmake and appears to be trying to do so, but that also fails.

Runcpan, and execute the following:
o conf make
Here's an example from one of my Windows systems:
cpan> o conf make
make [C:\STRAWB~1\c\bin\gmake.exe]
Check to see if the file listed in the make option is available on your system where cpan thinks it is (the entry may just be missing the path information to the binary).
If it's not, either find it, or look for another make program (gmake.exe is common), then enter the path and the make program's filename with the configuration command under cpan:
cpan> o conf make C:\\Strawberry\\c\\bin\\gmake.exe
make [C:\Strawb~1\c\bin\gmake.exe]

Next we need to know where the 'apxs' script is located. This script
provides a lot of information about the Apache installation, and makes
it easier to find things on your system. Normally it's located in the
same directory as the 'httpd' executable.
If you don't yet have Apache installed you can build Apache against
the Apache source code, but you won't be able to run the test suite (a
very important step). Therefore you may want to install Apache before
proceeding.
Please provide a full path to 'apxs' executable
(press Enter if you don't have it installed):
Please provide the location of the Apache directory: C:\Program Files\Apache So

Is there some trick to compiling Apache2:: modules under Strawberry Perl? Do I need to compile my own Apache binaries too or something? (If so, can I do that with the make tools supplied with Strawberry?)
If you compile apache from source, you should have apxs.exe from apache.
Add that to PATH. You need the apache source code for some Apache:: bits.
Installing via those instructions actually installs all the Apache2:: modules, except for Apache2::Reload.
