Try going here and downloading the Windows MSI item.

This provides an MSI file that you can install from Explorer. Simply double-click the file and let it work its magic. You should restart your computer once it's finished.

Once you've done that, you're set. For more information, go here.

Update: Ah, now we get to the heart of the matter. The following added to cover the Splinter's reply:

You haven't said whether you're trying to run utility scripts or CGI scripts. If the former, then check out ActiveState's FAQ on the subject.

If the latter, you'll need to install a web server of some form, such as Microsoft's Personal Web Server (bleah) or Apache. If you're not already using PWS, there's a bundle including Perl and Apache called IndigoPerl. I have hear this spoken of favorably, though I have no direct experience with it myself.

If you've checked these out, then please post a message outlining some more specific details such as the script you're running, how you're running it, and what it's doing/not doing right.
