perl Inline cpp not working windows 32 bit - c++

Question

I'm using perl Inline::CPP with this sample code from cpan documentation
use Inline CPP;
print "9 + 16 = ", add(9, 16), "\n";
print "9 - 16 = ", subtract(9, 16), "\n";
__END__
__CPP__
int add(int x, int y) {
return x + y;
}
int subtract(int x, int y) {
return x - y;
}
The Error Log

A problem was encountered while attempting to compile and install your Inline
CPP code. The command that failed was:
dmake > out.make 2>&1
The build directory was:
D:\university\phd\data\datamail\Chordata2\_Inline\build\inline_pl_172d
To debug the problem, cd to the build directory, and inspect the output files
at D:\university\phd\data\datamail\Chordata2\inline.pl line 0.
...propagated at C:/strawberry/perl/site/lib/Inline/C.pm line 772.
INIT failed--call queue aborted.
If the package is not installed well on my machine How to know and fix it ?

The your code works for me without modification once I installed Inline::CPP from CPAN...

Inline::C is packaged with Inline.pm because it is the most commonly used
Inline Language Support Module (ILSM).
See also: Inline::ASM, ::Awk, ::BC, ::Basic, ::Befunge, ::CPP (C++), ::CPR,
::Foo, ::Guile, ::Java, ::Octave, ::PERL, ::Python, ::Ruby, ::TT,
::Tcl and ::WebChat.
Config.pm indicates that your version of Perl was built with this C compiler:
C:\Perl\site\bin\gcc.exe
I have located this compiler on your system.
