Running install for module 'GD'
Running make for L/LD/LDS/GD-2.35.tar.gz
  Has already been unwrapped into directory C:\Perl\cpan\build\GD-2.35-la9DsP
Could not make: Unknown error
Running make test
  Can't test without successful make
Running make install
  Make had returned bad status, install seems impossible

Are you using activestate?

GD

The GD module, used for the creation and manipulation of industry standard PNG format images, now works with Windows and can be installed using PPM (the Perl Package Manager).

The package is not currently available in the ActiveState repository because of external library requirements that do not work with ActiveState's automated build system. PPM packages for the GD module can be found in other public repositories and installed as follows.

For a perl 5.8
ppm install

For a perl 5.6
ppm install

But you still have to have gd-2.0.35 installed right?
