Wasn't there a pure perl version of this module with some limitations?
(i remember of embedding functions unavailable)
For what it's worth, I've finally used something like:
system("$FLAC_PATH/metaflac.exe", $options)
If you still want to build it, I manage to build a version yesterday
following these actions:
Copy the whole flac/lib/LibFLAC* (from flac dev zip package) into
C:\strawberry\c\lib
(maybe LibFLAC.dll is the only file really required)
In CPAN:
Show quoted textcpan> install Audio::Flac::Header (failing with the error you reported)

Add an element like "C:\strawberry\c\lib\libFLAC.dll" to the end of line
291 of generated Makefile (LDLOADLIBS = C:\strawberry\c\lib\libmoldname
[...] C:\strawberry\c\lib\libFLAC.dll)
And then:
Show quoted text> dmake
> dmake test
(it generated 4 errors, but I think it's just a matter of crlf or
something like this)
Show quoted text> dmake install
Hope it helps, Hope it will be fixed,
Robin
PS: doesn't squeezebox server new use some pieces of exiftool?
