I figured out my problem, maybe this will help others.
Secrets pointed out
"Just as a forewarning, perl 5.14 only will work under 64-bit compiles linked with 64-bit perl. I haven't figured out the issue with activeperl and 32-bit yet.
Keep that in mind when making a Perl 5.14 compile."

I switched MySQL to an x64 build and Perl 5.14 to an x64 build
Also, updated the VC++ Directories to *remove* any reference to ZLib
Deleted my ZLib folder (NOT the one in the EMU Source)
and viola! it compiled and runs!
Haven't had a chance to log in yet, but I've gotten that far at least!
