From what I have heard, compiling Perl on Windows yourself is quite an undertaking. Update: But see also the reply by syphilis. Personally, I would still say the following at least as a starting point. /Update So I would say: just use Strawberry Perl. It's also a major argument in terms of stability to just use the precompiled, tested binaries that everyone else is using.

As for speed, the usual applies: first, see if your code runs fast enough in the first place. If not, then first measure where the slowdown is, optimize the hotspots, and measure again to make sure your changes made an improvement. Keep doing that until either your code is now fast enough for your application, or until you can optimize your Perl code no more and you have determined that it is in fact the Perl interpreter that is slowing you down - and if that happens, then please do let us know.
