This is not at all what I'm looking for: I don't have any script to run, but want to have a Perl runtime to be able to run any script written as an Inkscape extension, which calls directly wperl.exe with the name of the extension script which get its parameters from Inkscape through STDIN, including a temporary XML file name which is the current document, and output its messages , if any, to Inkscape through STDERR and finally returns the modified document through STDOUT). As I said earlier, it smells like Strawberry but without all the stuff needed for Perl development, like gcc, cpan, pods etc. Only a wperl.exe excecutable, some XS modules and the DLL needed to run them, nothing more.
