Download the ActivePerl MSI file from http://www.activestate.com/

Install ActivePerl on your web server. Follow the prompts but when asked, install the program to the C:\Perl directory. (You may need to create this directory.)

After installing Perl, ensure that it is working by opening a text file using notepad and adding the the following text:
#!/usr/bin/perl
print “Hello World.\n”;
Save this to the “C:\Perl” directory with the filename of “hello.pl”. Now open a command prompt (Start > Run > cmd) and type the following command: C:\Perl\hello.pl

If the command runs and produces “Hello World.”, then it looks like Perl is working correctly.
