I've been working with Perl under Win-NT (plus HP-UNIX and Linux) for over two years now, and i'ts almost as good as working with Perl under any UNIX dialect. Do not hesitate. Get the Activestate Perl and use it in production. It rocks more or less as well as any other Perl distribution.
You may find some parts of the language somewhat UNIX'ish, but don't fear. Even if you have no UNIX experience what so ever, you'll quickly get your mind set. (You may even grow some healthy curiosity for what UNIX does differently, and why. ;-)

Everything will go worng!
