Ok, so I I have deduced why I get the error below when trying to build 
the perl bindings.

I have deduced that it is because the Ext ExtUtils::MakeMaker, a perl 
utility for makefiles is checking for the existence of

libgstreamer-0.10.a
libxml2.a
 libz.a.
...

Where can I acquire these files - I don't see them with the Gstreamer 
winbuilds distribution. Please excuse my ignorance, I am just breaking 
into the world of C and GNU on windows (perl is my strong point).

Once again, thank you for the help!

Here is the error message - it is just saying it can't find the files above.
