Install ActiveState Perl on the Windows2000 server.

If you intend on having the users simply download the program, you should simply place it online, and allow users to download from there.

Perl Compilers aren't a good option. Perl is a part-compiled, part-interpretted language. Unless your target market is the 13-year-old AOL user demographic, I suggest having your users install Perl. It's a quick download, unintrusive, and opens a door for a world of programs not offered with Windows.

Hope this helps, if not, please post a reply (or sign up for an account :) ).
