7.2. Installation of Perl
To install Perl 5.6.1 for Windows, we need to download the Win32 version of Perl. This version is good for Windows 95/98/Me, and Windows NT and 2000/XP. During the installation of Win32 Perl, you have two choices. One is to install the Perl source files and then compile and build them on your machine based on the requirements of your machine. The other option is to install prebuilt binary code, which is easier for the beginner, because all libraries, scripts, Perl modules, PerlScripts, and CGI scripts have been integrated. In this book, we will use the second method to install Perl. The Perl we will use is ActivePerl, which is a product of ActiveState, Inc.
