Hi Cow1337killr,

Disclaimer: Current berrybrew maintainer here.

"Where do I go on the Internet to download the berrybrew.zip file?"

Per the Installation portion of the documentation, you get it from here (this is the master cut... it'll always be up-to-date). You then want to compare that fetch against the SHA-1 sum that is posted next to the download link in the Installation section I mentioned above.

When you download the archive (zip) file, you want to extract it to anywhere on your system, except for C:\berrybrew. We hijack that directory for internal purposes (in the future, this won't be forced. In fact, it can be changed... see here). After you've extracted the file, change into that directory, and then initialize berrybrew:

cd berrybrew
bin\berrybrew.exe config

[download]

You need to close your cmd window here, as Windows doesn't update its environment variables live-time in the way it is needed here. Then, open a new one.

Then:

berrybrew install 5.24.1_64
berrybrew switch 5.24.1_64

[download]

Kill current cmd window, open a new one, and:

perl -v

[download]

Now you can confirm you're operating on the proper version you selected, and you can go ahead and create stuff, and when executed, it'll run on the proper Perl installation.
