ActiveState has released a simple installation for Windows that doesn't use 
the Microsoft Windows Installer (MSI) technology.  This installer is only 
recommended in cases where people are unable to use the MSI installer.

This is the basic description of what it does:

# This program completes a simple installation of ActivePerl
#
# The intent of this program is to provide a "fail-safe" way of installing
# a fully-functional version of ActivePerl.  If there is a failure, this
# script should explain exactly what went wrong, and how to fix it.
# If not, submit that as a bug.
#
# What is does:
#     o Relocates Perl
#     o Creates MSWin32 Shortcuts to the HTML documentation
#     o Configures PPM
#     o Configures lib/Config.pm for use with a development system
#     o Creates ActivePerl registry entries
#     o Updates PATH environment variable on NT/Win2k
#
# Todo:
#     o uninstall (pretty simple)
#     o configure Perl for use with a Web Server
#     o set up file associations on Win32
#     o update the PATH environment variable on Win9x

This installer is available from the download page:
