How do I fix it if I'm using the binary version of ActiveState Perl? I don't
understand why the bindings have to be built with the same compiler flags as
perl itself. Some of them, like -DPERL_IMPLICIT_SYS, are clearly
inappropriate.

The MS linker probably does support -L -l and standard search paths. I
didn't use them because I dodn't know how they work offhand.

No. Many of the .lib files are import libraries which are used on windows to
link to DLLs. Some of them are plain old static libaries though.

You can get the locations of the external libraries by reading the
gen-make.opts file which is written by the build generator. Here's what one
from my system looks like:

-- snip --
[options]
--with-berkeley-db = ..\db4-win32
--with-apr = ..\httpd-2.0.49\srclib\apr
--with-apr-util = ..\httpd-2.0.49\srclib\apr-util
--with-apr-iconv = ..\httpd-2.0.49\srclib\apr-iconv
--with-httpd = ..\httpd-2.0.49
--with-openssl = ..\openssl-0.9.7d
--with-zlib = ..\zlib113-win32
-- snip --
