Where to get Perl

You will need a compiler, a shell, and some system libraries. Perl's script will tell you if you're missing something.

Strawberry Perl is a Windows Perl distribution that comes with a CPAN client, a working compiler and a lot of modules already pre-installed.

Originators of Perl on Windows, and still very much involved in the community, ActiveState releases their own version of Perl with a module installation system called PPM. If you don't want to deal with the "hassle" of managing your Perl install yourself, this may be for you.
