I wanted to build an awesome place for people to discuss module specific issues, but I don't have any more time for this, and there are much better places to discuss Perl-related issues. I'd recommend asking your question on Stack Overflow or on Perl Monks.
If you are looking for a Perl tutorial or Perl-related news, I hope these links will serve you well.
Win32-OLE

Re: Win32-OLE installation issue
I'm not an expert at problems in the Perl make system, but you don't need to do this to install and run ExifTool:

I'm not sure what the problem is, but the CPAN testers have successfully installed ExifTool on Win32 systems. Do you have problems installing other Perl modules?

At any rate, you can use exiftool without installing: Just run exiftool directly after extracting the tarball.

The only thing that the installation buys you is that it generates the POD documenation and man pages, and installs the libraries in the standard Perl location so you can access them as standard Perl modules. But none of this is required just to run ExifTool, and the included html documentation contains all the information of the POD and man pages.
