Perl MQSeries-1.33 installation is failing

Question

I am installing MQSeries-1.33 Perl module through CPAN shell but it's failing. I am using windows 7 and Strawberry perl v5.16.2.

I also have IBM Websphere MQ v7.5 installed with me.

The module is failing while make. Below is the error.

Cannot add determine value for 'MQENC_TNS', unknown constant 'MQENC_INTEGER_NORMAL '
Cannot add determine value for 'MQGMO_BROWSE_HANDLE', unknown constant 'MQGMO_MARK_BROWSE_HANDLE '

First off, why don't you download and use the prebuilt MQSeries v1.33 Perl binaries for Windows?

gcc -c -I"C:/Mqm/Tools/C/include" -I../include

IBM does not support GCC on Windows (32-bit nor 64-bit). You need to use a supported compiler i.e. MS Visual C++.

C:/Mqm/Tools/C/include/cmqc.h:3584:2: error: unknown type name 'int64'

An unsupported work around is to add the following define at the very top of your code:

#define _int64 __int64

This will get you by the compile errors but remember, it is not supported by IBM.
