in reply to Installing ActivePerl after Cygwin

I think the link to download ActivePerl is here.
Click on the download load button and that will take you to
a register form ... down load a Active Perl that installs with MSI (whatever that is).
They have this ...

The Windows AS Package provides NO uninstall functionality,
and is recommended only if you are unable to install
ActivePerl using the MSI installer.

... note on the download page.
