Thanks for replying, and for asking the good questions !

I used this scripts from http://code.google.com/p/gtk-perl-compiler/
The files are from http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/binaries/win32
So it's the source you used.

I tried again with http://ftp.acc.umu.se/pub/gnome/binaries/win32/libglade/2.6/libglade-dev_2.6.4-1_win32.zip
And looking at what the scripts where doing I could have a makefile done without error or warning.

At the end with copying include/....glade/glade-xml.h from the unzipped libglade folder in the cpan build 
folder, I could compile and install the module... 

I will try the Gtk2::Builder anyway.

Thanks again
