you need those files. you edit Makefile.PL and change the $ARSAPI
variable so that it points to where those files are (well, actually it
points to the folder _above_ the 'lib' folder that those files are in).
you then do the 'perl Makefile.PL' and 'nmake' 

those files are in the AR System windows server package. you can copy
them off of your ar system server. if you dont have access to the
server, you can extract the API files from the self-installer by passing
some options to the installshield setup.exe program to cause it to not
delete the extracted packages. unfortunately, i dont recall what those
options are.
