Hi,
I have installed to Windows 98/Windows 98SE/Windows ME and have not needed
to make any additional installation of drivers before hand. (Your Step #3).
Only on Windows 95 must you ensure that NT Service Pack 3 is installed.
I installed Active Perl 5.6x from the self-extracting self-installing
executable file which states that it updates the path. There was never a
need to run an install.bat file.
Next I mapped Perl in the registry both .pl and .cgi.
Installation concluded without a hitch.
I recommend that you uninstall Perl, download the latest from
http://www.activestate.com and reinstall.
