If you're really asking "Can I run Perl CGI scripts on Windows without CGI-capable HTTP web server software?", then answer will be - of course - YES! You have many options here.

1. You can write your own HTTP web server in Perl from scratch using IO::Socket::INET.
2. You can use some of already written HTTP server Perl modules from MetaCPAN.
3. Or you can use web framework from MetaCPAN.org, many of them includes HTTP server (I prefer Mojolicious, it's simple but powerful)

Perl has no need of a webserver (not on windows nor on linux): download your copy of http://strawberryperl.com/releases.html portable edition, unpack it and run portableshell.bat launcher.

How can we run a perl script in Activeperl without web server in windows?

Installing Perl on a Windows PC says

You can now write Perl programs in any text editor (like Notepad, but turn wordwrap off) and run them through the Command Prompt using the "perl" command, just like all the other OSes.

I run ActivePerl on my Windows 10 machine.

This has nothing to do with a web server although Perl like JAVA, Python and other languages can used in conjunction with web services.

Save this program as "Hello.pl".
Double click on that file.

use strict;
use warnings;

print "Hello World, hit 'enter' key to end this program!\n";
my $in =<STDIN>;

I tested this on my Win 10 Active Perl environment and it works.
To do more development with Perl, you will need to know how to use the "Command Line" of Windows.

I need it for Activeperl

You need what for ActivePerl?
