My $0.02:
Go to www.activestate.com and download ActivePerl. Not only is it the de facto
Win32 Perl distribution, but you will have access to PPM, which lets you install most
commonly-used modules at the touch of a button (especially convenient because Windows
doesn't come with a compiler).
After it is installed, it will set up the file associations so that you just have to
double-click on any .pl files or type the name at the command prompt, and the Perl
interpreter will be automatically invoked.
For the database support, download DBI via PPM. It has a kind of steep learning curve
compared to other modules, but once you get the hang of it you can use it to retrieve
data from just about any database.
