It's hard to provide useful advice without more specific detail of your situation and what you're trying to achieve. Please tell us more about that.

Strawberry Perl is popular on Windows and I've used it happily in the past (I never attempt to build Perl from source on Windows because it's too much hassle for my tastes).

Given Windows nowadays comes with a free Ubuntu VM, one possibility that might appeal to you is to build Perl from source on the Windows Ubuntu VM, as described here.

In case it's of use, my mandatory Building Perl References.
