Go to the top of the Perlmonks page. There's a little box with a button named "Search". Type in "installing modules on windows" in the little textbox and hit the button. Scroll down a little and you'll see a post by John M Dlugoz with that as the title. Read that thread and you'll get some ideas. If that doesn't have enough info, read some of the other threads. If that's not good eonugh, go to the link called "Super Search" (the fourth from the left, between "The Monastery Gates" and "Snippets") and use that search engine.

After you read all that, post your specific questions regarding specific areas of the install process.

(Hint: You didn't download a .tar file - you downloaded a .tar.gz file and your Windows machine is auto-associating .gz files with WinZIP.)
