I want to migrate a code from Linux to Windows 7. I use MinGW to run perl. Regarding this code I need to install 'Clone 0.31', 'Data-Dumper 2.121', Hash-Merge 0.11' and 'threads 1.71' packages. But, the version of these packages that I have are good for Linux. I wonder if there is a Windows version available for those modules.

Let me phrase that differently: You can install those modules in Windows. In fact, threads and Data::Dumper come with Perl! – ikegami Mar 13 '13 at 19:43

@user2166951 Could you add the errors you're encountering to your post? Then we might be able to help you. – Schwern Mar 13 '13 at 19:44

If you don't need to use that specific Perl on Windows, I would suggest updating to Strawberry Perl. Its a bundled Perl environment including gcc, C libraries needed by common Perl modules, and commonly used database drivers. It includes a configured CPAN shell, accessible from the Start menu, for installing modules.
That is the easiest way to use Perl and install modules on Windows.
Otherwise, the modules you mention should compile on Windows, but without seeing specific error messages we can't help you with your problem.
