I did also a local installation: state install File-ExtAttr, which results in:

After the uninstall of the state tool, install fails with the same error, so no useable environment can be set up with this Package!
What is the problem building such an old and CPAN-listed package?

The problem applies to every version of the package - regardless the perl version (5.34/5.36)

Supported OSes

Linux
Mac OS X
FreeBSD 5.0 and later
NetBSD 4.0 and later
Solaris 10 and later

That module doesn’t work on Windows.
File::ExtAttr - Perl extension for accessing extended attributes of files - metacpan.org.

Sorry - RTFM (completely) - is there a module for Windows which may do the corresponding job?

Might be what you want.

Still thinking about this - there seems no module available and don’t want to deal with native Win32-API. For clarification: Extended Attributes in Windows are special file attributes like MP3-ID-Tags (Title, Album, Singer, Duraion, Bitrate etc.) which are NOT stored in the metadata if the filesystem but in the file content itsself.
