No, I misunderstood your question.

I have MS VC++ Express 2008 (or version 9, it goes by both names
apparently) installed. So far, I have run into no problems with

perl Makefile.PL

nmake -f Makefile

nmake -f Makefile test

nmake -f Makefile install

If you do install it, make sure to run the commands in cmd.exe shell
you start by using the shortcut installed in the Tools subfolder of
the VC++ folder in the start menu.

So, extract the compressed archive into a directory (preserving the
directory structure), start the said cmd.exe shell and off you go!

You might find

http://sourceforge.net/projects/console/

useful.

There is also Strawberry Perl http://strawberryperl.com/

I haven't looked at it since last year, but the new site design is
cute!

If this is with ActivePerl, you may be better off swiching to gcc.
ActivePerl is built with MSVC 6, and MSVC 9 has a different,
incompatible (differently-named, in fact) msvcrt.dll. This means that if
an extension calls a libc function directly, you will end up trying to
load two different versions of the C library into the same process.
Unsurprisingly, this doesn't work terribly well... gcc uses a MSVC
6-compatible msvcrt.dll, and recent versions of ActivePerl have support
for switching to gcc if it's in your path.

I decided to give another shot (last time I tried was a few years
back) to building Perl myself. This time, I used VC9 Express. I am
happy to report that everything worked right out of the box.

Thanks to Makefile maintainers.

I'd heard only bad things about VC Express. Of course, it had been from
people who were knee-jerk anti-MS.

I too was impressed by the appearance of the strawberry perl page. I like
it when it is visually-arresting without being busy and cluttered. I'm
gonna create a user without admin priveleges and install it on that and take
it through its paces.
