Not only is ActiveState's Perl interpreter an option, you could download
Cygwin and have a UNIX interface with Perl to run on top of Windows. I've
never tried it, but those I know who have love it.
If you go with ActiveState, download DBI and the appropriate DBD drivers
for the databases you will connect with using PPM. If you use Cygwin, you
can download the modules using CPAN
perl -MCPAN -e "install 'Some::Module'"
and follow the directions. You also need the latest gcc compiler
installed... I don't know off-hand if Cygwin provides that (I'm almost
sure it does).
You can get Cygwin from http://sourceware.cygnus.com/cygwin
Good Luck
