Evidentally I have the tuits :-)
First, I'm not sure how relevent this is to Jifty development since it's
more a commentary on the difficulty of install Perl modules on Win32 (which
I'm only just getting a taste of now). So, if this is indeed out of scope
for Jifty developers to address, please ignore.
I did an "install Jifty" in the cpan shell on a fresh CamelPack ActivePerl
5.8.8 install. I installed DateTime manually first in a dos shell (it
doesn't recognise gcc availability). I wasn't able to keep track of all the
errors as they flew by on the console but running an "install Jifty" again
to see what dependencies are still missing yields:
- App::CLI ...missing. (would need 0.03)
- Cache::Cache ...loaded. (1.04)
- Calendar::Simple ...loaded. (1.13)
- Class::Accessor ...loaded. (0.25)

- version ...missing.
- YAML::Syck ...loaded. (0.44 >= 0.44)

Here are the items I've resolved:
- DBD::SQLite ...had to manually copy a bunch of DBI .h
files into the build directory for it to install
- Email::Simple::Creator ...had to install Time::Piece using ppm
before it would install
- HTML::Mason ...failed one test relating to static
source file test, I just forced the install
- HTML::Mason::Plugin ...came along with HTML::Mason
- HTTP::Server::Simple ...had to install using ppm
- Jifty::DBI ...see notes on dependent modules below
- Cache::Simple::TimedExpiry ...installed via ppm
- Class::ReturnValue ...installed via ppm
- DateTime::Format::Builder ...had to patch a .t file that didn't like
windows path seperators
- Test::Base ...installed via ppm
- Test::Pod::Coverage ...had to install Pod::Coverage via ppm
- version ...had to install via ppm
Items that remain unresolved:
- App::CLI ...fails 'make' in cpan, not available in
ppm
- HTTP::Server::Simple::Recorder ...fails 'make' in cpan, not available in
ppm
- Module::Refresh ...fails 'make' in cpan, not available in
ppm
- Test::WWW::Mechanize ...tests all fail in cpan, not available in
ppm
- Test::HTTP::Server::Simple ...relies on the SIGUSR1 signal that
ActiveState doesn't support
Many of the modules I had to install using ppm and those I've listed as
failing 'make' in cpan are a result of the following error:
Undefined subroutine &ActivePerl::Config::find_prog called at
C:/Perl/site/lib/ActivePerl/Config.pm line 70.

Running make test
Make had some problems, maybe interrupted? Won't test
Running make install
Make had some problems, maybe interrupted? Won't install
I'm not sure what to make of this -- it's new to the 5.8.8 version of Perl
(at least I don't recall seeing this under 5.8.7) :-(
Anyone have any advice/thoughts? I'm content to wait until I have access to
a *NIX box to play around with Jifty if necessary but it appears there's
some interest in making this work on Win32 as well...
