If you are developing CGI for web use, you will need both a perl binary and a web server installed on your laptop. This, even, will be of limited usefulness if you do any external calls, like pipe to sendmail, or rely on system dependent structures (like Unix socket naming or permissions).

However, if you can do your development work without those things (testing subs or modules, for instance), you can get the Windoze binaries for Perl by going to Outside Links and downloading the binaries from ActiveState.

If you need the web host to work on CGI stuff, there is a Windoze port of Apache available that will run on almost any 'doze version.
