It won't work like that, the module has an XS component that requires a
C compiler to build. There is a PPM package for the module for
ActivePerl that you should just be able to install via PPM like:
C:\> ppm install TermReadKey
The modules package name is Term::ReadKey but it is packaged as
TermReadKey for historical reasons.
So once you have installed the module via PPM then you want to refer to
it as Term::ReadKey in your code.
