VCS Integration with Bugzilla on Windows 32 bit Machine with ActiveState Perl Requires AlienSVN for which There is No Available Working Build

If I 
1.) copy the VCS folder into the extensions folder of Bugzilla and run 
checksetup.pl. I see a warning indicating that Alien-SVN is required for VCS 
support of Subversion. 

2.) If I ignore that warning and navigate to the Parameters page of Bugzilla 
adminstration and 
try to set vcs_repos to Svn svn://[our_svn_site]/repo/
and 
vcs_web to 
svn://[our_svn_site]/repo/ http://[our_svn_site]/repo/%project%/revision/%revno%

I get the error 
The new value for vcs_repos is invalid: 'Svn' is not a valid VCS type that this 
Bugzilla currently supports. Error: Can't locate SVN/Client.pm in &#64;INC 
(&#64;INC contains: CODE(0x21bb2bc) . lib C:/Perl/site/lib C:/Perl/lib) at 
C:/Perl/site/lib/VCI/VCS/Svn.pm line 5. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at 
C:/Perl/site/lib/VCI/VCS/Svn.pm line 5. Compilation failed in require at 
/loader/0x21bb2bc/Bugzilla/Extension/VCS/Params.pm line 89. 

I think this relates to the AlienSVN warning from the relevant sections in 
Checksetup.pl. Checksetup.pl recommends running ppm install Alien-SVN.
Unfortunately, there is no Alien-SVN build available. 
If I try to build it from sources, that fails too. 

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

I am using VCS-0-2. The machine is running Windows XP, Active State perl 5 
version 16, subversion 3 (v5.16.3) built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread
