If you've downloaded the '.zip' version of build 820, unpack it to any location. If you unpack it to (for example) C:\somewhere, then you'll find the installer.bat in the C:\somewhwere\ActivePerl-5.8.8.820-MSWin32-x86-274739 folder. Then it's just a matter of doing a 'cd' to C:\somewhere\ActivePerl-5.8.8.820-MSWin32-x86-274739 and entering installer.bat. If it prompts you to install perl to a location that contains a space (eg C:\Program Files) don't let it do that. Instead opt for a location that doesn't have any spaces - eg C:\Perl. Otherwise, accept the defaults.
Then run perl -v to check that all is well. All being well, you can then remove the C:\somewhere\ActivePerl-5.8.8.820-MSWin32-x86-274739 folder as it's no longer needed. If you have downloaded the '.msi' version, then it's just a matter of double clicking on it to proceed with the installation. (Again it's best not to accept any default that wants to install perl to a location that contains spaces.)
