paragkalra:

While you didn't mention it, I thought I'd suggest the perl distribution in the Cygwin environment. If you're comfortable in a Unix/bash environment, then it's very straightforward. Of course, if you're not happy in a Unix/bash environment, it's still useful. But since it lacks all the frills, bells and whistles on other distributions, you'd be happier with another distribution.

Since Cygwin also has compilers and such available, I find that most modules install with CPAN and no particular effort.

Some of the systems I use are on restricted networks where I can't use CPAN. In those systems, I just copy the tarball over and use the standard:

perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install
