'pearl' should be Perl (for the language) or perl (for the binary). "born shell" should be "Bourne Shell".
You don't say what kind of an error you're getting with the MSI, you just say "it fails." Fails how? If you've done shell programming, a lot of Perl will look familiar to you. When you get it installed, just go to C:\Perl\html\index.html and review the documentation.

Seriously, you don't say what happens when "it fails." Without this information, no one can give you anything but the most generic help. That being said, maybe the msi you downloaded is corrupted, download it again. It happens.
