ActivePerl is a very nicely maintained Perl distribution (i.e. Perl + an installer (called ppm) for a subset of the modules available on CPAN), but my personal favourite is Strawberry Perl. There are still some issues with Vista (see Vista Issues) though, which I cannot comment on, but that's no reason to not give it a try. I am still clinging to Windows XP for my Windows needs and very happy using Strawberry Perl, in particular I can install nearly any module from CPAN I like (I had only problems with a few of them, e.g. Tk).

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
