Depending on whether you are on ActivePerl or Strawberry Perl, the installation procedures will be very different. Please tell us which version you are running.

From your error message, it would seem that you might need to have a C compiler installed on your box. Do you have that?

Having said that, I will not be able to help you much further, since I am not using Perl on Windows.

You probably don't have Net::SSH::Perl installed on your system. Since the module you used could not be found in the standard directory of Perl. I used the word 'probably' because you may have the module installed in another directory, and as such you need to specify such either on the CLI using "-I path_to_the_directory" or

Code

 use lib 'path_to_the_directory';

in your script.
However, if this module is not installed on your system then you could do like so: From your CLI

Code

perl -MCPAN -eshell 
 
cpan> install Net::SSH::Perl

Checking the module on https://metacpan.org/module/Net::SSH::Perl I see that it has a lot of dependencies, so it might not be very funny using the above method to install.
So, if you have CPANMINUS installed on your system, then you could then just do: From the command line interface

Code

cpanm Net::SSH::Perl

Then you can go to sleep Wink

because every thing just works fine.
For cpanminus that takes all the pain away see https://metacpan.org/module/App::cpanminus.
