How to install dmake in Perl 5.28 (Winx64)?

Faced the problem of installing modules on Perl 5.28 (Windows x64 platform).
The initial task was to install Lingua::Translit via CPAN Shell , but the console prompted me to install dmake .

When trying to install dmake , we see the result:

cpan> install dmake

Googling did not lead to any sane result. I would be grateful if someone could suggest a solution to this problem.

dmake-4.12.2.2.zip contains the compiled program:

This is DMAKE version 4.12.2 compiled for Win32 using Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0

run command look dmake, read README.TXT and install it.
