Well you can go to http://activestate.com which has the ActivePerl program on there. You may need to download the windows installer to update your computer so ActivePerl may install.

Then you just plain install as you would anything else but make sure that you can access ActivePerl through MS-DOS by 'Associating Perl with path' or something of the like in the installation options. After which you can run programs through MS-DOS prompt by simply typing perl. As an alternative, you could install an editor to run it through perl.exe for you. All though <STDIN> will not work through an editor.

Assuming that you are new to Perl, make sure you have all of the Perl documentation installed as well, it will be your best friend later on. It is like a giant reference or a Perl book for free.
