[PATCH perlmodinstall.pod] Installation on Win32

[PATCH perlmodinstall.pod] Installation on Win32
Message ID:
20030809013550.GS1587@windhund.schwern.org
The current instructions in perlmodinstall for Win32 modules states:

"Copy the module into your Perl's lib directory."

Ack!

This patch outlines the correct procedures for finding and using nmake or
dmake.  It also points out the PPM alternatives for building modules on
Win32.

Other nits:

I changed Jon's email address to his oreilly.com address, figure that's more
up to date.  Jon?

Added 2003 to the copyright statement.

I removed the 'make' step from the instructions as its largely
redundant.  'make test' will do everything 'make' does.  Stylistic nit,
feel free to reject.
